Food, Wine, & Friends

In this inspirational book, award-winning food and wine writer Fiona Beckett offers a wonderful range of menus for social occasions of all kinds, with recommendations for the ideal drinks to accompany her mouthwatering recipes. A meal based on a spring visit to the farmers' market, a Provençal-style lunch, a romantic dinner for two, a summer picnic — these are just some of the menus to get your imagination going. You'll find classic dishes such as Boeuf Bourguignon alongside intriguingly original recipes such as Pot Roast Brisket with Zinfandel and Roast Garlic and Pumpkin Polenta. Light, healthy options are also avilable, such as Little Seafood Jellies with White Wine and Dill and Sicilian Spiced Seabass with Grilled Tomatoes and Baby Fennel. Indulgent delights include a Just Desserts evening and Summer Berry Tea, as well as the author's approach to creating cheese boards to reflect the seasons.
