iThe Art of Friday Night Dinneri is a love letter to Friday nights of all kinds and a cookbook for people who love to eat. It?s food for hosts who would rather spend time talking than cooking, for people who show their love by feeding, and for nights when only a steaming bowl of pasta cradled in front of the TV will do. It?s the kind of cooking that can turn a week around in the half-hour it takes to make Friday night dinner. brbrThere are recipes for dinners to eat in your dressing gown ? good things on toast and perfect pastas for cosy sofa suppers. There is seafood and steak to fall in love over, and big, bold, crowd-pleasing recipes for hosting the masses. And there are puds. Proper puds, to be eaten with glee in the bath. And amongst the recipes there are thoughts on the glamour of mixing a martini for one, the lifesaving magic of a really good spaghetti carbonara, and the joy of a table laden with bits, waiting for hungry hands. This is a book about friendship, and the heady intensity of platonic love between women; it?s about making mories and relishing your independence, and how food is the connecting thread between it all.br
