Editorial Reviews

“To be in a loved one’s presence... that’s what life is truly about,” writes celebrity chef Oliver (Ultimate Veg) in this glib collection of recipes intended to be enjoyed with others. After a touching dedication to the U.K.’s National Health Service workers, he conveys his book’s aim: “Think good old-fashioned dinner parties, celebrations... or just getting your nearest and dearest over for that wonderful end-of-the-week meal.” But what follows is more of a haphazard assemblage of dishes and Pinteresty photo collages with captions such as “Recipes that can embrace a whole rainbow, in a comforting way, are a delight.” Chapters are organized as menus, and aesthetic considerations, such as grilling potatoes “until beautifully bar-marked,” abound. In a bid to offer comfort food, Oliver hews heavy: garlic knots with a cream cheese filling pair with rice and beans, and breaded chicken cutlets go with pesto, while a Bundt cake with veggies and cheddar, Hasselback potatoes with sausages, and a fennel gratin with more cheese are sides to accompany an “epic” roast. The aptly named Eton mess (a “megamix mish-mash”) is one of several gloppy desserts. While there’s much to gather over, these recipes are casting about for a cohesive theme. (Nov.)

From the Publisher

In his latest cookbook, Oliver (The Naked Chef) takes 18 different scenarios and events and plans out a full meal for each. These occasions range from "Taco Party" and "Celebration Roast" to "Picnic Love" and "Curry Night." Depending on the occasion, menus include appetizers, entrées, sides, desserts, sometimes even a drink. Each recipe (Scrumptious Garlic Bread; Crispy Chickpea Rice) is meant to stand alone, so readers can mix and match for their own personal celebrations or maybe just a weeknight dinner. Measurements and oven temperatures are given in standard units, and the recipes are straightforward and not at all "chef-y." The recipes are written with entertaining in mind, so they call out preparations that can be made ahead. Beautiful pictures of the dishes and of Oliver with his friends and family give the collection a festive feel. VERDICT There are plenty of great dishes here, organized in an interesting and attractive format. A helpful book for home cooks looking for resources on entertaining or party planning.—Susan Hurst
