Medlars: Growing and Cooking is one of three publications in the Debut Food Book category shortlisted for the prestigious Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards 2024.
The winner will be announced at a major ceremony at the Royal Exchange in London on 2 May 2024. Author Jane Steward from Eastgate (Norfolk) said, “It’s hugely exciting to appear in the list alongside writers whose books I admire. This is a milestone on my journey to revive interest in a delicious but neglected fruit with a fascinating history.”

We sell from this website happily. But it may be easier and the postage cheaper if you order via Wordery (the link is: https://wordery.com) or Blackwells, who offer free postage in the UK. A good site for book orders to Australia is www.booktopia.com.au
All orders to Europe may incur local taxes and have to be collected from poste restante. We do not receive any of this income so if your relative is unlikely to collect a gift parcel, please be warned, as the book will only be returned to us if uncollected.
