Frances Bissell on Entertaining

Whether you're planning a full wedding breakfast or a quiet lunch with a friend, Frances Bissell is sure to have just the right recipe for you.

First and foremost a cook, Frances Bissell is one of our most highly regarded food and cookery writers. She is the author of many books and is a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in Britain and abroad. Her latest offering is the highly entertaining Entertaining.

`I started writing this book about 30 years ago. Well, perhaps it is more accurate to say that that is how long I have been accumulating the experience on which this book is based. It is all about entertaining, not only how to do it, but how to enjoy it.'

With these words, Frances Bissell opens her wonderful new book. In it, she gives sound advice on planning all manner of parties, from a simple tea party to a grand buffet, from supper round the kitchen table to a candlelit dinner. Her experience and expertise are second to none and with her cool, calm presence at your side you will soon be inspired to write a shopping list, invite a few friends round and get ready for some seriously enjoyable entertaining.

Here's our choice of just a few of the fabulous recipes on offer:

Ham and corn enchiladas

Duck and pistachio terrine

Chicken breasts stuffed with chorizo and dried figs

Grape ice cream with caramelized grapes

Entertaining by Frances Bissell can be ordered online from www.amazon.co.uk
