After the success of Christine Steven’s first book Harvest, a recipe book from an organic farm, the author was flooded with feedback asking about the story of life on an organic farm. Harvest Diaries is a monthly diary of exactly this story: The hardships and triumphs, the challenges and successes, of living the dream of a healthier lifestyle.

With tales of wine-making, farming, harvesting and cooking through the seasons, Harvest Diaries gives that rare insight into the daily realities and practicalities of following the dream of a simple life in the country. The diary of each month is accompanied by beautifully photographed. mouth-watering, yet wholesome recipes that are appropriate to that month’s harvest. The simple life at its best!
