The recipes in this book can be used every day of the week for that one main course we cook daily, whether we're cooking for the family or entertaining our friends. Divided into just three chapters – meat, poultry and seafood – the recipes range from well-known classics to modern dishes, many with a Continental influence. All are prepared with the author's flair for home-cooked, hearty and delicious meals. Plate would make the perfect house-warming gift for those relatively inexperienced in the kitchen, but even seasoned cooks will find inspiration.
