From vibrant salads at the height of summer to hearty stews in the depths of winter, the food we prepare and enjoy evolves through the year to match the weather. And who better to trace that journey than Better Homes and Gardens' own TV chef, Ed Halmagyi?

In the 186-page Seasonal Kitchen cookbook, Fast Ed opens his personal recipe collection to share more than 65 of his favourite dishes. Think you-beaut breakfasts, grab-and-go snacks, easy but impressive entrees, tasty vegetarian fare, moreish mains and desserts so decadent everyone will find room for a helping. Plus, of course, delicious dishes to grill and thrill on the barbecue - perfect food for Aussie alfresco entertaining.

Catering to all skill levels, Seasonal Kitchen will become your new go-to guide, whether you need weeknight dinners on the table fast or can luxuriate in a long, lazy afternoon of cooking and entertaining. It's about finding the joy in food that's made - and shared - with love, something from which Fast Ed draws his own inspiration in the kitchen.

"Every day, week or season, you have the unique opportunity to make a friend or stranger genuinely smile," he says. "And nothing beats that. Nothing."
