Book Review
‘As always, Le Clerc’s recipes are simple but not too simple, so you can actually enjoy the process of cooking, as she obviously does, rather than just combining a few ingredients…The book is peppered throughout with tips and advice gleaned from her years as a caterer and café owner.’
Otago Daily Times, September 2004

‘With the accent on “delicious food and good company”, as opposed to labour-intensive formal dining, this beautiful new book is full of fabulous entertaining ideas for a variety of occasions… Each section offers “smart, practical, stylish recipes” that are impressive, yet manageable and the numerous little tips and ideas that accompany the text are both innovative and helpful.’
