This is the ideal cookbook for anyone who loves to entertain. In this inspirational new book, leading food and wine writer Fiona Beckett offers a wonderful range of menus for social occasions of all kinds, with recommendations for the ideal drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic, to partner her mouthwatering recipes. A meal based on an impulsive early spring visit to the farmers' market, a Provencal-style lunch, a romantic evening for two - these are just some of the menus to get your imagination going. You will find much-loved classic dishes such as Beef Bourguignon alongside intriguingly original recipes like Little Seafood Jellies with White Wine and Dill. Further delightful options include an indulgent 'Just Desserts' evening and cheeseboards that reflect the seasons.
