The art of Friday night dinner

Steafel, Eleanor

£26.00

‘The Art of Friday Night Dinner’ is a love letter to Friday nights of all kinds and a cookbook for people who love to eat. It’s food for hosts who would rather spend time talking than cooking, for people who show their love by feeding, and for nights when only a steaming bowl of pasta cradled in front of the TV will do. It’s the kind of cooking that can turn a week around in the half-hour it takes to make Friday night dinner. There are recipes for dinners to eat in your dressing gown – good things on toast and perfect pastas for cosy sofa suppers. There is seafood and steak to fall in love over, and big, bold, crowd-pleasing recipes for hosting the masses. This is a book about friendship, and the heady intensity of platonic love; it’s about making memories and relishing your independence, and how food is the connecting thread between it all.
