Family-style sharing

This book is full of food you’re going to share with your family and friends, and for that reason I see the table as the heart and soul of my 30-Minute Meals. All the lovely dishes you create are going to come together here in one beautiful spread, and eating them together should be a fun, sociable experience. Because my job is to make you look good, I’ve given you a list below of some of the bits and pieces I use for serving all the time. These things aren’t ‘essential’ in the same way as the kitchen kit, but to my mind they are incredibly important because they are going to help you create an exciting-looking table people want to sit around.
