Fun, Fast and Fabulous Food - a guide to feeding friends at home by Alison Taafe When the words 'Dinner' and 'Party' are put together, they take on a whole new level of fear and intimidation for many, so chef and educator Alison Taafe hopes to allay home cook's nerves with her great new book. Fun, Fast and Fabulous Food is the next best thing to having a guest chef waiting in your pantry. There's everything from menus for various themes and occasions, to drink suggestions, shopping lists and timetables.
Like when to go shopping, when to start the prep, what order to start cooking things etc. Alison has it all covered, by taking the stress and uncertainty out of entertaining. Alison takes readers through all the steps, from planning what they will cook, through to home cooks when to shower, dress and relax before guests arrive. It's a light-hearted yet sensibly planned book that really does give you the feeling that you're being taken by the hand, by an experienced foodie.
