From its food and landscapes to its people and heritage, no other region is more colorful than the South —where, for centuries, artists and good cooks have found much to love in the color, texture and taste of the harvest in each of the four seasons. As you visit the seasons within the pages of The Seasonal Palette you are transported to a time and place firmly entrenched in a culture that embraces its past, and yet thrives in the present.

Rarely does a cookbook feature fine art by one of America’s most prolific painters alongside innovative recipes selected from the archives of a respected regional lifestyle magazine.

In The Seasonal Palette, Bob Timberlake’s landscapes and still lifes — some of which have never before been published — pair with the stunning food photography of Taste-Full Publications to provide a feast for the eyes.

Timberlake’s images of North Carolina — a conch shell on the railing of a beach cottage, potted plants resting in spatterware saucers, a cluster of pansies against a rock wall — feel like home and speak to what we wish were in our backyards. Taste-Full 's recipes — most with no more than 8 ingredients — are the new comfort foods and easily adapt to casual dining or a formal dinner party. In addition to chapters for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, The Seasonal Palette has recipes for completing the menu, suggested menus and wine tips. Featuring food for the soul and not just for "the South," this well-crafted volume is a new type of reference book that you will reach for time and time again.
