Meals in heels
Meals in Heels by Jennifer Joyce
I approach cooking as I do craft: it has to be simple and, above all, satisfying. That’s why this is my kind of cookbook.
We have a tiny kitchen (far too small for more than four to eat in comfortably), so I often cook in advance when we entertain. So last night, for example, when our dear friends Sonia & Michael came over, I made soup and roast. Sonia brought a delicious banana pudding and some icecream for dessert. The only thing left to do was serve up upon arrival, leaving me free to sit down and enjoy some wine and a chat. And that’s the point, isn’t it?
On my list for the next occasion from this gem of a book? Lemon gnocchi Sorrentina, Five-hour fall-apart leg of lamb and Chocolate nut tart. Yum.
You sent me scurrying off to buy a copy for a gift! NOT! A cookbook without photo’s … not at that price ;(
This is more than just a cookbook, though. It gives presentation ideas, suggests other dishes that will go well with the main, and much more. I can forgive the lack of photos.
