Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess by Amanda Owen
From the star of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive & The Kids and Our Yorkshire Farm comes an entertaining insight into life on a remote hill farm through the year. In her latest book Amanda Owen recounts stories of life on the farm, of raising nine children and cooking beautiful, seasonal meals – complete with the recipes for you to enjoy at home. In the Sunday Times bestseller Celebrating the Seasons, the Yorkshire Shepherdess shares funny and endearing stories about life with her children and their many four-legged charges and describes activities at Ravenseat, from lambing and shearing in spring to haymaking in summer and feeding the flock in midwinter. She vividly evokes the famous Swaledale landscape, from the sweeping moors to rare wildflowers and elusive hares glimpsed in the field. Amanda lives in tune with nature, and her attitude to food is the same. She believes in using good, seasonal ingredients when it comes to feeding her family, and includes some of her favourite recipes here, from wild garlic lamb with hasselback potatoes to rhubarb and custard crumble cake and Yorkshire curd tart.

Amanda Owen grew up in Huddersfield, but was inspired by the James Herriot books to leave her town life behind and head to the countryside. After a period of milking cows and working as a contract shepherdess and alpaca shearer, she eventually settled down in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, where she has stayed for over twenty-five years, living and working in one of the highest and most remote places in England.
Amanda is the mother of nine children, a passionate photographer and the author of the top ten bestsellers The Yorkshire Shepherdess, A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess, The Adventures of the Yorkshire Shepherdess, Tales from the Farm and Celebrating the Seasons, which was shortlisted for Non-Fiction Lifestyle Book of the Year at the 2022 British Book Awards.
