Product Description

Book Jacket
Cooking for Friends is a collection of thoroughly modern recipes by innovative young food writer Alistair Hendy that look spectacular but are easy to prepare and totally delicious. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the joys of life and entertaining should be a pleasure not a chore, a chance to set aside the bland convenience food of everyday life and experiment with fresh, tasty ingredients and original ideas.

Alistair's philosophy on food is to choose good-quality ingredients, ideally in their natural season, and to keep things simple: "Cooking now is about spontaneity: a freedom to cook without getting bogged down with complicated methods and fiddly procedures ... flavours are fresh and should be kept that way". In Cooking for Friends he provides over 100 wonderful recipe ideas that include:

Soups and Starters Choose from deceptively easy recipes like Chicken and Butter Leek Soup or Roast Mushrooms with Horseradish Mascarpone.

Vegetables Try Tomato and Pimento Tart, Aubergine Mozarella Lasagne, plus vegetable dishes to serve with meat, fish or poultry.

Fish Includes Seafood and Corn Gumbo and Smoked Fishcakes with Lemon Butter Spinach.

Poultry Try Chicken and Mushroom Pie or Chicken and Pea Shoot Salad.

Meat Choose dishes like Beef Stew with Chestnuts or Rosemary and Olive Lamb with Roasted Garlic Butter Beans.

Puddings Irresistible treats include Ginger Toffee Pears with Rice Pudding, Peach and Fig Almond Tart, Hazlenut Tiramisu Cake and many more.

With Cooking for Friends you will create food that will delight and impress your guests--whatever the season or the occasion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish ,modern with easy to follow recipes , a must., 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
The photography is exceptional with truly beautiful assembled dishes. The recipes themselves are very easy to follow and are very inspirational. A few ingredients are rather esoteric but the book is all the better for this. Most of the recipes have additional ideas to fine tune the dish to your own requiremnts and lifestyle,they are laid out in a very easy to follow format.As a keen cook I was inspired with the recipes which are so contemporary . If you enjoy entertaining this is really the book for you . I was bought this book as a gift and was pleasantly surprised so a big thank you there. Enjoy!
