Gathering family and friends around the Sunday lunch table, to share delicious home-cooked food, should be a joyful experience. Doyenne of home economists, Marguerite Patten's book provides fail-safe advice, not only for serving up the favourite Sunday roast with ease, but with a host of other tried-and-tested ideas incuding those for the non-meat eaters. Delicious puddings, imaginative vegetable dishes, plan-ahead starters and much more are all included written in her much appreciated authoritative style.
