She says in the Introduction to the original edition published in 1971, \"...I feel that delight lies in the seasons and what they bring us...the strawberries that come in May and June straight from the fields, the asparagus of a special occasion, kippers from Craster in July and August, the first lamb of the year from Wales. This is good food...The encouragement of fine food is not greed or gourmandise; it can be seen as an aspect of the anti-pollution movement in that it indicates concern for the quality of environment. People in many parts of the country run restaurants specializing in locally produced food, salmon from the Tamar, laver and sewin from the Welsh sea, snails from the Mendips, venison from the moors of Inverness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow prophetic she was when she pointed out to us the importance of locally-produced, fresh food and she wrote those words over half a century ago!
