At a time when 'cost of living' is a daily discussion topic, cooking with ingredients currently in-season is a surefire way to slash your grocery bill. But who has the time to figure out what's supposed to grow when, let alone what you're supposed to make with the resulting mish-mash of niche fresh ingredients that happen to grow well in this particular month? Well, Annabel Langbein, apparently.

This glorious cookbook is divided into seasons, with family feasts and meals to be shared with friends made from ingredients clearly marked by the optimal time of year to acquire them. The hard work has been done for you in trying to figure out a dinnertime plan, because you can look out your window and figure out what the weather's doing, what season we're in, and now with Annabel's help – what's for dinner.

With just a $1 reserve, you'll actually be saving money by bidding on this. Still not convinced? Well, look at you thinking about seasonal ingredients as a cost saving measure. Meanwhile I'm the numpty over here selling all my old wares on Trademe to turn a quick buck and put (possibly overpriced, out of season) food on the table.

Don't be like me. Make the wise decision. Bid now!
