Description: Cooking for the family and cooking for our friends is something we do practically every day of our lives, but we often see them as different things, as "feeding" or "entertaining". In Philippa Davenport's book they are one and the same thing, part of a style which aims at simplicity as well as excellence always. If you can make it a habit to plan and cook every meal with the same thoughtful care, cooking becomes an inventive pleasure, almost a relaxation from the pressures of other work, and the difference between feeding and entertaining vanishes. - Jacket flap.
