Following on from "High Days and Holidays", this book is inspired by the author's family's favourite recipes. The 160 recipes cover all family needs including: starters, fish, chicken, and vegetable main courses, sauces, puddings, economy standbys, cakes, breads and jams. The recipes are an inspired collection using familiar ingredients with a modern twist, such as bacon souffle with sundried tomatoes, Irish soda bread with herbs, and crumbly baked cod with scallions. There is something to suit every family occasion from grand celebrations to cheap meals. The book takes a healthier approach to cakes and sauces, and the option of using less fat and sugar appears in many of her recipes, alongside many other healthy tips, such as the substitution of potato pastry in various savoury dishes.
