Prue Leith's dinner parties promise to be not only delicious for the guests, but also relaxing and enjoyable for the cook. To this end, each dinner menu is accompanied by a practical introduction on timesaving, forward planning and presentation.

Each of the fifty-two three-course menus, one for every week of the year, has been carefully compiled so that the individual courses complement each other in flavour and texture. The menus are imaginative and deliciously tempting, and each one is presented in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step form.

Prue Leith has added to each menu invaluable tips on what tools to use, how to plan your time, which parts of the meal can be bought and prepared in advance, and what will need last-minute attention.

If followed correctly, chaos in the kitchen will be cut to a minimum and the cook should have time to 'get a twenty-minute soak in the bath' before the guests arrive.

Whether you are organising an elaborate dinner party or a casual supper for friends, Prue Leith's refreshing ideas and clear instructions will ensure an enjoyable evening.
