| Summary |
A Table for Friends celebrates the joy of eating with friends and family, with over 100 simple and wonderfully inviting recipes. Drawing on years of cooking for more people than it ever seemed possible to squeeze into her kitchen, Sunday Times columnist and cookery author Skye McAlpine shares the secrets to her stylish and relaxed way of hosting, setting you up for success whether you're cooking for two or twenty. A Table for Friends has recipes for every occasion, from last-minute weeknight dinners to large celebratory gatherings. Skye's recipes fall into four chapters, Stars, Sides, Sweets and Extras, which allow you to intuitively plan an impressive menu, and each chapter is ingeniously organised into Throw Together, On The Hob and In The Oven so your menu fits your mood, your kitchen and your time. Alongside these beautiful, deliciously do-able recipes comes Skye's practical, fuss-free guidance for hosting a stress-free gathering, from what to cook in advance to laying the table beautifully, allowing you to step out of the kitchen and relax with your guests. For a make-ahead weeknight supper why not try her Spinach, mint and melted cheese Syrian frittata, Fried broccoli with black olives, A really good tomato salad and Pistachio butter cake with marzipan icing? Or for a quick but spoiling lunch, Burrata with preserved lemons, mint and chilli, Carpaccio of figs with lardo, honey and rosemary and Drunken strawberries with mascarpone is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. This helpful, approachable, down-to-earth kitchen companion will give you the confidence to invite an abundance of friends to your table and the inspiration to do it more often. |
