'Als ich anfing, diese Rezepte aufzuschreiben, stellte ich mir dabei einen wunderschönen Garten voller Frühlingsblumen, mit Zitrusbäumen und einem herrlich üppigen Gemüsebeet vor. Ich wollte ein Gefühl der Nostalgie wecken, eine Sehnsucht nach der Zeit, als vor allem die Natur, gute Freunde und feines Essen zu den einfachen, schönen Dingen im Leben zählten. … Die Gerichte sollten reichlich, aber gleichzeitig leicht sein, voller Geschmack, doch unkompliziert, unaufwändig und köstlich. Zum Mittagessen große Platten, von denen sich jeder bedienen kann, schwer beladen mit frischem Gartengemüse und Dips, pikanten Meeresfrüchten und scharfen Häppchen. Gemütliche Kaffeekränzchen, mit Puderzucker bestäubte Kekse, aromatische Kuchen und sommerliche Desserts. Altmodische Tischdecken, auf denen sich Süßigkeiten türmen – voll intensiver Zitrus-, Blüten- und Vanillearomen. … Und da in meiner Vorstellung alles ums Kochen und Essen herum völlig entspannt sein sollte, sind die Rezepte simpel, schnell und unaufwändig. Es geht darum, Spaß am Zubereiten zu haben und den frischen Geschmack einfacher Küche zu genießen.' Michele Cranston
