Description
Home Farm Cooking is a 272-page Phaidon cookbook by Catherine Pawson and British architectural designer John Pawson, bringing together 100 seasonal recipes with photographs of their family home in Oxfordshire.
The book is set at Home Farm, a countryside house designed for family meals, guests, and daily life around the kitchen and table. The recipes follow the seasons, moving from spring vegetables and summer meals outdoors to autumn dishes and winter cooking for longer evenings at home.
The food is practical, generous, and made for sharing: Easter lamb, wild mushroom risotto, roast carrots with tahini dressing, fish pie, saffron chicken tagine, fruit tarts, ice cream, and other dishes from the Pawson family’s own cooking and entertaining repertoire.
Photography runs throughout the book, showing both the finished dishes and the spaces where they are prepared and served: the kitchen, dining room, garden, table settings, materials, and changing light at Home Farm. For readers interested in architecture, the book offers a close look at how a carefully designed house supports ordinary rituals: cooking, gathering, eating, and living with the seasons.
