What do you want to eat right here, right now? What we cook and eat is as much dictated by our moods as what we wear and what we do so Jo Pratt has written an ingenious book that asks you how you feel before suggesting what sort of food you might fancy. Are you feeling lazy? Then the chapter of convenient, super-quick and easy recipes will hit the spot. Or is romance in the air? Here are heavenly recipes for every romantic occasion from the first date to the bedroom . . . How about extravagant? Jo’s menu suggestions will dazzle your guests and satisfy the exhibitionist in you. There are also chapters for naughty, indulgent moods and purer, healthier ones guaranteeing the right food at the right time and making sure you always get a little of what you fancy . . .

From the Publisher
I Love this book. Jo could have written it entirely with my
lifestyle in mind . . . she can see that sometimes I am too hungover to
move let alone cook elaborate things; she seems to know that I have really
great intentions at least once a month and has given me brilliant lunch box
ideas and healthy suppers. And she has also spotted the exhibitionist in
me; sometimes, I really want to convince people that I am a genius in the
kitchen and with Jo's help, I can! I can't stop cooking her chocolate
brownies either so she now knows my good intentions rarely last. Finally I
have found an author who really speaks my language . . . Camilla Stoddart,

I have spent the last week making various thing from this fantastic book- my colleagues at work are now all putting it on their christmas lists as a result.(and going on diets as a result of all the taste testings they have been doing!) The recipes are simple, straightforward, inspiring and DIFFERENT. I am a mad recipe book collector, but find so many books incredibly repetitive in style, either that or really pretentious. I think it would make a great present as well.

The layout for this book is what inspired me to buy it, the recipes split into sections such as things to cook when you are feeling lazy, things to cook when you want to be healthy etc. I have only owned this book for a month & have already made 6 or 7 of the dishes, every single one of them was a winner. Particular favourites being the chianti baked meatballs & slow roast honey & ginger duck. Dishes thast look & taste amazing but so simple to make, this book is suitable for a novice right up to an expert. I have already bought this book as a gift for 2 of my friends & others can expect it too!

I don't know which I want to eat more - the food in Jo's book or the book itself! The presentation of this book is so moreish and the recipes are easy to follow, delicious and perfect for all occasions. This is a book to grace your shelves if no other!

OK but not outstanding
This is a nice enough book but, in my view, it is nowhere near as good as Jo Pratt's other book, 'In the Mood for Entertaining'. Read more

Great cookbook
With its pretty design, lovely photos & incredibly clear instructions this book is a real winner. I've cooked several of the recipes and they've all turned out really well.
