Publisher's Synopsis
Since it was first published in 1983, this book has become a true classic. Crammed with favourite recipes, useful tips and friendly advice, it has made cooking when you're away from home, far from the city's conveniences, terrific instead of terrifying. No wonder cookbook lovers have kept asking to have it back. In this new edition, Rodmell and Bush have updated and revised their recipes to reflect the changes in taste since the first edition. Read it to learn: what to keep on hand for carefree holiday meals; which foods travel well; which simple tools in the holiday kitchen do the job best; how to feed a crowd of unexpected guests; how to prepare drinks and snacks that make the 'happy hour' ecstatic; what kids really like -- food so good they might even help make it.
