FOOD WITH FRIENDS
The Art of Simple Gatherings
Food with Friends is a good resource for anyone who wants to entertain more but without the fuss, the nerves, the nagging need for perfection. Let go of your inner Martha Stewart. Embrace friendship, simplicity and spontaneity.
The recipes and ideas here are indeed simple. Easy. The book is heavy on sweets and breakfasts, not my favorites. Not for the health conscious or carb avoider. Cyd has traveled all over so her recipes reflect a global perspective. For example, she has a recipe for matcha egg cream which would send my in-laws over the edge. Then again, my in-laws now love that sprig of watercress in my matzoh ball soup.
Her section on potlucks and picnics is probably my favorite because 'tis the season. The season of summer where we all face the question, what deliciousness to bring.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
