Summary

"Everything one wants in a cookbook。 Beautiful, elegant simplicity。 Angela's gorgeous Weekend Cook is a vital addition to any cook's kitchen。" -Stanley Tucci

Internationally beloved chef Angela Hartnett's first cookbook released in the U。S。, featuring 100 recipes perfect for entertaining at home。


An invitation to dine at Angela Hartnett's house is a real treat。 Nestled in London's vibrant East End, her home is a place to experience delicious food, great company and a relaxed atmosphere that is as far removed from the high-octane stress of a professional kitchen as it is from the social anxiety that many of us face when hosting a dinner。 Angela knows the secrets to throwing the most relaxed and enjoyable dinners for friends and family-magical evenings that people talk about for months afterward-and in The Weekend Cook she shares them。

Great flavors and simple, yet delicious foods abound in these pages, from satisfying one-pot dishes and comforting risottos to perfect party food and baked goods to feed a hungry crowd-each one a joy to cook and eat。 With 100 recipes as well as time-saving tips and cheats, The Weekend Cook takes the stress out of hosting, allowing you to enjoy your dinner parties without breaking a sweat。

A beautifully done cookbook by Angela Hartnett, a professional cook in London who shares her life and her very important food weekends with her readers。 I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this cookbook。

Disclaimer: Received this as an advance copy via Netgalley and Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (Thank you!!!)This is a lovely cookbook by Angela Hartnett, who is apparently a British celebrity chef。 Normally I find most celebrity chef cookbooks to be bland but I am happy to report that this is not the case with this book。The book layout is simple but hooray for all the color photographs showing finished recipes! It's a British book, so American cooks will need to look up the conversion oven temperatur Disclaimer: Received this as an advance copy via Netgalley and Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (Thank you!!!)This is a lovely cookbook by Angela Hartnett, who is apparently a British celebrity chef。 Normally I find most celebrity chef cookbooks to be bland but I am happy to report that this is not the case with this book。The book layout is simple but hooray for all the color photographs showing finished recipes! It's a British book, so American cooks will need to look up the conversion oven temperatures (the book did not include one with their conversion charts)。 The recipes themselves are not really suited for beginners, while the instructions are clear and easy to understand those having some experience in the kitchen will likely have better success when making them。 As someone who enjoys learning about new recipes and ingredients, this book did not disappoint。 The book is a bit of love letter to the author's East London home, family and friends, and provides many traditionally British recipes like Faggots (meatballs), Haggis and Queen of Pudding。 While I won't be making those first two recipes anytime soon, I'm not sure how I made it this far without knowing about Queen of Pudding, jam, white bread, meringue, yes please! 。。。more

The Weekend Cook is a perfectly lovely cookbook which is probably better suited for British cooks。 The recipes use metric measurements and many of the ingredients use British terms making it a bit more difficult for American cooks to figure out what the recipe is using to prepare the dish。 At the back of the book is conversion charts which could be used to prepare the recipes。Recommend with caveats given。Review written after downloading a galley from NetGalley。

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。While this cook book is beautiful, it's not one I would frequently use。There are some nice photos of some of the recipes。 The recipes are in both metric and cups。 The recipes themselves are largely things I wouldn't eat or try。 Some are more accessible than others and Hartnett notes that some can be made in advance to make it easier, but she also says she uses pantry staples for ease and for the majority of recipes I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。While this cook book is beautiful, it's not one I would frequently use。There are some nice photos of some of the recipes。 The recipes are in both metric and cups。 The recipes themselves are largely things I wouldn't eat or try。 Some are more accessible than others and Hartnett notes that some can be made in advance to make it easier, but she also says she uses pantry staples for ease and for the majority of recipes I don't have those kinds of ingredients on hand。 There are some interesting recipes to try, but it feels like a mix of traditional British food and and fancy party food。 。。。more

Sorry but nothing really appealed to me。 Being in Mexico, ingredients are too hard to find。
