Synopsis

In this new collection of recipes, Claire Macdonald reverts to her popular, tried and tested seasonal preparation of meals. They are aimed at those of us who like to entertain but either dislike or don't have time to do so in the manner of the traditional, formal dinner party. Instead, the recipes are designed for more informal, relaxed meals with friends - a bit more special than supper, but not as overwhelming as the fully-blown, three course dinner.

From the Back Cover

Claire Macdonald s new collection of recipes is aimed at those of us who like to entertain but don t have much time or would prefer not to do so in the manner of the traditional, formal dinner party. Instead, these recipes are designed for more informal, relaxed meals with friends a little more special than supper, but not as overwhelming as a full three-course dinner. As the title suggests, her new cookery book is arranged in the easy-to-use seasonal format that has become her hallmark, encouraging us to eat different types of food to complement the weather outside our kitchen window. The simplest way to delicious and healthy eating is to use ingredients when they are at their freshest.

Whether you are cooking Claire Macdonald s mouth-watering Sweet Potato, Lime and Ginger Soup as a warming winter meal for friends or her Pepper-crusted Salmon Fillets with Tomato and Basil Salsa for a summer party, you will find that all of her meals are simple to produce, delicious to eat and designed to be shared. Claire Macdonald s Simply Seasonal is the perfect kitchen companion for today s more relaxed style of entertaining.
