Since I love to entertain my friends I was very excited to read this book. Leela Cyd’s book was a very easy read and has very colorful illustrations. I liked the secret ingredient chapter. It was nice to have some of the food items explained what they were.
I also enjoyed the chapter Style File which was full of great ideas for place settings and decorating.
This is a great recipe book for those who can afford to be a gourmet cook. I was a bit disappointing that most recipes involved expensive ingredients that most people don’t keep in their cupboards. Some I have never heard of.
I did love the colorful illustrated pages and how the plates were set up. All and all this is a nice book for those who love to cook gourmet.
ABOUT FOOD WITH FRIENDS
Small bites and treats to share
The best gatherings are simple, yet somehow special. They might begin with an impromptu picnic after shopping at the farmer’s market or a late lunch with neighbors that stretches into cocktails under the stars. Whatever the occasion, this picture-perfect cookbook shows how to turn any meal into a delectable affair. These effortless recipes for brunch, teatime, happy hours, picnics, potlucks, and dessert all include a whimsical twist: a few slices of French toast doused in lavender syrup, rainbow chard empanadas served with pistachio crema, or a vibrant purple cauliflower hummus. With tips on creating an inviting table, stocking a pantry to make last-minute nibbles, and packing delicious parting gifts for guests, Food with Friends will inspire any get-together, however large or small.
