I came across this book at the Something of a Domestic event and I've not been able to put it down since. It's called 'How to feed your friends with relish' and is by the rather brilliant Joanna Weinberg. I've never come across a book quite like it; part ode to food and friendship, part carefully crafted recipe trove.
Not only do you learn how to make the most amazing sounding dishes like chicken and tarragon pie or rosewater rice pudding, you also get to find out how Joanna met her boyfriend Ed or how Joanna and her sister Sam threw their younger sister a surprise 30th birthday party (the party being the surprise rather than the birthday itself). You can, like I did, get it at Something, its also available through Bloomsbury and Amazon or indeed, one would presume any good bookstore worth its salt. I can't recommend it highly enough!
