A Celebration of Food from the Four Seasons of the World – by The Mount School

A compilation of recipes, poetry, stories and art, celebrating the centrality of food across families, communities, societies, cultures…

‘Whilst the anthology is primarily a recipe book, we wanted to incorporate something more than this. As a TV dinner society it is our generation that is missing out on the sharing and communal aspects of traditional meals….To beautify our creative oeuvres and further titillate your taste buds we have incorporated artwork from across the junior and senior years at the Mount School.’

As a multicultural community, we are proud to have representatives of almost every ethnicity and religion in the world.  Every pupil brings their own tastes and traditions with them and this anthology celebrates that diversity, as the title reflects.

We hope you will enjoy this ebook as much as we do and you find it a source not just of pride but of useful recipes and amusing anecdotes...
