The Seasonal Table: A Community Cookbook

The Seasonal Table is a cookbook created by 27 female food photographers and recipe developers. Inside you will find a collection of inspiring seasonal recipes that are rich in flavours and culture. We invite you to take a seat at our table as we share recipes from our creative kitchens to yours.

A community cookbook

This cookbook has been created by members of the the Food Creatives Network, co-founded by Anna Janecka, Davinia O'Shea and myself, Linda Hermans.

The FCN is a global community of foodie creatives, from photographers and videographers to stylists and recipe developers.

Together with Marianne Häggström, we have brought together a total of 27 members of the FCN community to release the first collaborative cookbook made by food creatives from all over the world.

Delicious, seasonal recipes

The FCN members have developed over 50 recipes inspired by the four seasons: spring, summer , autumn and winter.

The recipes strive to include seasonal produce for each chapter that is easily accessible, yet celebrates a variety of cultures and cuisines.

The Seasonal Table brings you collection of light lunches, nourishing mains, tantalising treats and delicious drinks.

From Polish beetroot soup and Sri Lankan cashew nut and green bean curry, to chocolate swirl pavlovas and masala chai, there is a recipe in this book for everyone!

Stunning photography

What makes this book unique is the captivating photography throughout. Each creative has prepared, styled and photographed their own dishes specially for this cookbook, so the pages are filled with beautiful images that everyone will admire.

Whether you're looking for something to make for dinner, or simply passing the time on a Sunday afternoon, this cookbook makes a fantastic addition to your coffee table collection.

The creatives

We would like to say a huge thank you to all 27 creatives who have contributed their delicious recipes and stunning photography to this cookbook.

They have shown incredible commitment to this project and we are thrilled to have created this cookbook with these talented women.
