Product Description

One of the greatest pleasures in life is providing good food for friends and family. Celebrating all that is good about food-from shopping and preparation to cooking and sharing the results-this beautiful cookbook, based on simplicity, versatility, and ease of presentation, helps busy bees to return to the kitchen to create meals that they once thought could only be found in restaurants or at the hands of talented caterers. Themes are designed to encourage home cooks to think seasonally, to try new ingredients, to entertain creatively, and include such inspiring menus as "Weekend in the Country," "Long Lunch," and "Spur of the Moment"-reminding readers to open their doors, call a few friends, and remember how wonderful it can be to make something truly tasty. From Sicilian swordfish rolls to chocolate bread pudding, these 130 easy recipes show the way to simple, elegant gourmet dining.
