"Top-quality seasonal produce cooked simply is increasingly the mantra of both home cooks and restaurant chefs.

Cooking from the Market: Fruit and Vegetables sidestep the supermarket and head for the grower's and farmer's markets where the different types of fruits and vegetables herald each season.

These two handsome cookbooks are not just a source of delicious recipes; they also provide advice on selection, storage and preparation.

Part practicality and part inspirational, these books celebrate the revival of interest in buying seasonally and buying locally.

Here's fruit and vegetables at their freshest and best."
