Book SynopsisCome Over... Whether you''re a beginner looking for simple, impressive recipes to feed friends and family, or a seasoned host hoping to inject your repertoire with stylish, interesting ideas, you''ll find all you need in Dinner & Party.Rose''s stance on entertaining is that the cook shouldn''t be banished to the kitchen; cooking for guests needn''t be fussy or hard to juggle, but instead made up of dishes - some classics, some novel - that can be prepared in advance, dressed up to impress last minute and enjoyed by everyone. Practicality is central to a book updating the etiquette for entertaining in our times. With this in mind, Part 1: Dinner showcases easy options for every course, all alongside thoughtful advice about how to source ingredients, when to begin preparation and how to serve. Meanwhile, Part 2: Party provides tried and tested catering ideas for larger groups, from indoor picnics, to standing parties and Christmas diTrade ReviewAlong with many others I'm really bad at working out how much to cook when I'm catering for more than 10 people. Rose Prince offers dinner menus for fewer than that number but, especially in the run-up to Christmas, this book will prove its worth for the party menus that cater from anything from 20 to 60 guests. Prince's food is real and achievable; she has her own style that feels very English, although she takes ingredients and influences from all over the world. -- Diana Henry * DAILY TELEGRAPH *Beautiful, simple and practical recipes so you may enjoy one of the great pleasures of life: cooking for friends and family. -- Raymond BlancNow here's a treat.

Now he's poised to create an even deeper bond with his readers, old and new, with his first cookbook.A Man & His Kitchen is like an invitation to Matt's storied country retreat, the Wm Brown Farm in upstate New York, to learn how to cook the hundred-plus recipes he considers his greatest hits-simple, straightforward, and, most of all, delicious dishes to feed yourself, your family, and your friends.

And just enough desserts to have in your back pocket, including Berry Galette, Flourless Chocolate Cake, and notes on the importance of keeping a stash of Klondike bars in the freezer.Along the way, Hranek shares everything: what he keeps in his pantry, how he outfits his kitchen, shopping strategies (never come home from a trip without a few local ingredients; look for classic cookware at flea markets and tag sales), his no-waste philosophy for trimmings and leftovers, and dozens and dozens of pro tips (leave the skin on potatoes for better-tasting home fries; mix salad dressing in a jar and shake like hell for perfect emulsification; scissors are the easiest way to cut homemade pizza and focaccia).With its beautiful photographs and elegant look, A Man & His Kitchen is a stunning book, perfect for any man interested in cooking, no matter what level of expertise-because the real gift of this book is Matt's enthusiastic voice, encouraging us all to become passionate, attentive, and confident cooks.Trade Review“I’ve never read a cookbook where I am compelled to make EVERY single dang one of the recipes.
