Sarah Raven's Food for Friends and Family

In this enormous and beautiful book, Sarah Raven takes us through the year with recipes that will appeal to best friends, children, uncles and mother-in-laws alike. Whether roasting rose flavoured marshmallows round a bonfire or tucking into a glorious Christmas lunch, there is something here for everyone. Sarah's seasonal recipes are utterly delectable, and include beetroot tart with horseradish cream, Sussex stewed steak, sesame salmon with pea pesto, parsnip and sweet potato crisps, rabbit pie, lamb kebabs with spiced aubergine sauce, pork and porcini casserole, banbury cakes, blackcurrant mousse ice cream, plum syllabub and tarte tatin - which can be accompanied by glasses of home-made ginger beer or Danish glogg. Stylish and gorgeously illustrated with photographs by Jonathan Buckley, this book is a joyous celebration of both the countryside and of fantastic food, and one that you'll turn to for inspiration again and again.
