Product Description

Cressida Connolly, Vogue

`She's not just reader-friendly, she's reader best-friendly. After reading her book, you not only want to try out lots of things: you want her to come round and hang out in your kitchen, chatting ... I can't think of a better present than this book'


Harry Mount, Telegraph

`Weinberg's book is full of tips aimed at making your life as the host easier and your guests' lives less like a series of structured conversations built around a parade of show-off food ... Comfort is the watchword of Weinberg's book and its wellspring ... Her comfort mantra extends beyond dinner parties to every sort of eventuality where food lifts your spirits'

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely brilliant, 14 Sep 2007
By Fletchberg (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this book because I liked the cover, but I was still unprepared for how brilliant and useful the content would be. There is a recipe for virtually every occasion (in the last week alone I have tried five, and all worked perfectly). It's written in a friendly tone, and is full of anecdotes about the author's life and relationship with food (passion). I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't think that the women should retire when the port gets passed around the dinner table!

5.0 out of 5 stars a sizzlingly good read, 21 Sep 2007
I'm a terrible cook and own no cook books - even the sound of people mentioning 'Nigella' and 'Gordon' annoys me, so when someone bought me this, I imagined I'd gift it on. But a quick flick through was enough to change my mind - a few days later it's not only persuaded me to do some good cooking, but it's like meeting a new best friend. Weinberg's voice is exactly the one you want in your head whenever you're thinking about having friends around, and even when you're not. Sincerely recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, cozy and fun...but erroneous recipes, 18 May 2008
By Poroto (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This book has lots of great recipes and it's a pleasure looking through it. It would also make a nice present for those living away from home for the first time and have not had that much experience in the kitchen. I loved the idea of cooking for friends, as so few seem to do that these days, preferring always to go to the nearest restaurant.

But Publisher please take note: A minus is that the book has been very poorly edited, and some recipes definitely have not been tested. 1) In the Pommes dauphinoise recipe it says "..picking out the bayleaf, onion and thyme..." but there is no onion listed in the list of ingredients! She can't have meant the garlic because it would be impossible to pick out the garlic (which has to be finely chopped). Would like to know when, how and how much onion you have to add. 2) The "Chocolate raspberry meringue sandwich" does not list chocolate in any part of the recipe or the list of ingredients. I would like to know how it should be incorporated. 3)The lemon drizzle cake is way too sour. It requires juice of 2 large lemons for the batter and a further juice of 2-3 lemons for the drizzle. Even though the drizzle also requires a whopping 120g sugar (in addition to the 150g required for the batter), I couldn't eat it as it was so sour. I am wondering if it's another typo - or maybe lemons in the UK are not as sour as they are here? These should be corrected and the edited version sent to customers who bought the first edition, or at least Bloomsbury should publish an erratum. It's unacceptable for a publisher of their reputation and I feel slightly short-changed.

I heard the other day that the more cookbooks people buy, the less they cook - perhaps I am of the minority as I actually use the cookbooks I buy, and to me a book that has errors like these is a faulty item as I cannot use it for the original purpose intended by its author.
