An invitation to supper at Angela Hartnett’s house is a real treat. Nestled in London’s vibrant East End, her home is a place to experience delicious food, great company and a relaxed atmosphere that is as far removed from the high-octane stress of a professional kitchen as it is from the social anxiety that many of us face when hosting a dinner. Angela knows the secrets to throwing the most relaxed and enjoyable dinners for friends and family—magical evenings that people talk about for months afterwards—and in The Weekend Cook she shares them.

Great flavors and simple, yet delicious foods abound in these pages, from satisfying one-pot dishes and comforting risottos to perfect party food and baked goods to feed a hungry crowd—each one a joy to cook and eat. With 100 recipes as well as time-saving tips and cheats, The Weekend Cook takes the stress out of hosting, allowing you to enjoy your dinner parties without breaking a sweat.
