Season by Mark Moriarty

Season: Master the elements of amazing taste

By Mark Moriarty

Seasonal ingredients and seasoning: the two elements that make great food.

Take your cooking to the next level with award-winning chef Mark Moriarty. Inspired by the calendar and the climate, these recipes celebrate quality, accessible ingredients, from lamb boulangère in spring to crispy pork belly tacos with pineapple salsa in summer. Try comforting autumn favourites like minestrone soup and create Christmas showstoppers, including Mark’s brined turkey crown and soy-and-honey-glazed ham.

Mark focuses on the importance of seasoning throughout, the splashes and sprinkles that enhance every flavour in your dish. The crackle of freshly ground black pepper on a crusty steak. Butter melting warmth into your mash. Lemon juice cutting through the richness of a creamy sauce. Sea salt crystals dancing on steamed fish, making it sing.

This is the difference between good food and great food – Season will show you how easy it is to achieve at home.
