Recipes and Stories from My Coastal Kitchen

Time & Tide

"A beautiful and soul-comforting book for anyone who loves to cook." - Stanley Tucci"The gentle warmth and charm of this Cornish idyll pleases mightily." - Jeremy LeeIn Time &amp; Tide, Emily Scott weaves together all the strands that influence and inspire her cooking; from the salt-scented air to the ever-changing shades of the water and the shapes and textures of the wild fennel and tamarisk plants that crowd in on the Cornish coastal path. These elements make for incredible dishes infused with creativity and a sense of place. Emily&rsquo;s recipes reflect the ebb and flow of daily life during the year; from breakfasts of overnight oats and buttery crumpets to lunches of sea-herb focaccia, and from suppers of Cornish bouillabaisse to desserts of treacle tart and bramble and peach crumble. Each dish evokes something inherently special to Emily and the culinary delights of Cornwall. Be welcomed into her coastal world with more than 80 recipes alongside stunning photography to help you discover this most-magical of places.

I really enjoyed reading Emily&rsquo;s book which beautifully conveys her love for Cornwall, cooking and our incredible Cornish produce. It&rsquo;s packed with dishes that cooks around the country will love to try at home, and through personal recollections, recipes and photographs pays homage to this stunning county that we both call home.

From the moment you open Emily&#39;s book you can smell the sea and the long grass between your fingertips. Emily&#39;s food has always given me a sense of home. Of cosying up to my loved ones round an open fire to hearty meals for the family dinner. The smell of the dishes lifts from these very pages and consumes you. Whatever you do, don&#39;t read this book when you are hungry.

Ronan Keating, Singer, Songwriter & Presenter

Going through the pages is like sand through your fingers from the Cornish beaches. You can breathe the passion and taste the simplicity of Emily&rsquo;s ethos and the beautiful sea treasures. I just want to sit on the beach now to eat it all, heaven.

I love Emily&rsquo;s food. It is deeply rooted in the landscapes and ingredients of her Cornish home, and this beautiful collection - of which I want to eat every recipe - celebrates everything from that county&#39;s incredible seafood to gorse to seaweed to saffron and beyond.

Mark Diacono, Food writer, Grower & Author

Emily is one of the best chefs out there. I have eaten at her restaurants many times over the last 5 years. She makes a holiday in beloved Cornwall, even greater. Time &amp; Tide encompasses all my favourite things - British fish (of course), cooking veg with the seasons, hedgerow jams, lazy long lunches, recipes you can potter to, seaweed and herbs, beach picnics in all weathers, cosy soups, family feasts, and seaside suppers. What a beautiful, delicious book. Congrats Emily.

Time &amp; Tide is a thoughtfully curated love letter to Cornwall and cooking. It&rsquo;s a heartfelt collection of new recipe ideas fuelled by memories of living in one of the world&#39;s most gorgeous places. Reading it transported me back to Cornwall.

Lorraine Candy, Award Winning Journalist & Author

Emily&#39;s books never fail to make you ravenously hungry and transport you to a calmer, more beautiful world. Full of wholesome beach and cliff top walks and plates of delicious food. This is a world I would happily jump into.

Emily&rsquo;s love and passion for seafood leaps off every page. Her food is generous, delicious and beautiful to behold. I find this book truly inspiring.

This book is a true celebration of the sea, mixing a love for the ocean with simple, straightforward methods that make cooking fresh fish easy and enjoyable.

Great dishes require good ingredients that are prepared with knowledge and respect. Nowhere is this more evident than in fish cooking, where fine sauces and artful presentation can’t disguise shortcomings on the plate. Emily combines a lifelong love of the ocean with a realistic appreciation of what can be achieved in the kitchen. She marries romance with realism, passion with practicality. In Home Shores, she also has exciting recipes that I am planning to try at home.

Emily’s book is inspired, fresh, exciting yet simple. Food that does good and tastes good too.

Emily Scott’s Home Shores feels like a warm invitation to the coast. For anyone new to seafood or just looking to be inspired, her simple, soulful recipes capture the true essence of cooking by the sea – it’s like bringing a bit of the ocean’s magic right into your kitchen.

This book makes me yearn for long balmy evenings with friends, popping a few corks and cooking up a fishy feast to share.

An important, beautiful book celebrating all that is good and generous from the waters around us. Organised into thoughtful chapters, with thorough descriptions of the sea’s bounty and useful tips on pans, tools and choosing well, this is an essential addition to every cook’s culinary library.
