More Chairs. More Plates. More Wine.
Because the best tables are the ones with people gathered around them.
Table for Friends by Skye McAlpine is a gorgeous celebration of cooking for the people you love — whether that's supper for two or twenty squeezed happily around the table.
Inspired by the relaxed generosity of Italian entertaining, Skye's approach is refreshingly simple: delicious food, a welcoming table and, crucially, a host who actually gets to enjoy the evening too.
Recipes are cleverly divided into Throw Together, On the Hob and In the Oven , making it easier to plan what you're cooking without discovering that everything needs the oven at exactly the same time. There are plenty of make-ahead ideas too, leaving more time for the important things — flowers on the table, candles lit and a glass of something good before everyone arrives.
Beautifully photographed and full of recipes you'll genuinely want to cook, this is a lovely book for anyone who believes having people over should feel generous, relaxed and never too perfect.
