“Fanny Cradock is the Queen of Christmas cooking” – The Telegraph

Keep Calm and Fanny on! A fabulously festive companion to navigating the party season with aplomb.

Stuffed full of jolly recipes, decorations and plans in this new edition of her classic 1968 guide, British culinary icon Fanny Cradock comes to your festive rescue. In her eyes the hostess’s role is as much set designer and theatre director as caterer. She is obsessively thrifty, fierce in her determination to Make an Impression, and just can’t resist taking things too far; if something can be filled, covered in aspic or deep fried, it usually is? Fanny just can’t help herself.

And when times get truly tough, there’s a whole chapter of ‘Slap Happy Crisis Substitutes for Serious Cookery’.

Told with Fanny’s trademark caustic wit and overblown attention to detail, and with a new foreword by food writer Felicity Cloake, ‘Coping with Christmas’ is a waggish wink to help find the magic along the way, and the ideal gift for any host feeling fettered by the expectation of a ‘perfect’ Christmas.

Nourishing, hearty and often easy to whip up, soup is a staple that has true range and appeal to all. Soups are soothing, filling and a great way to use up leftovers or pack in nutrition and vegetables for the perfect bowl of both virtue and comfort. From sensational starters to feel-good main courses, this book contains over 70 recipes for everything from a silky Butternut Squash Soup to a rich Langoustine Bisque. There are soups for every occasion, all of them brimming with flavour. When in need of something good for the soul, look to Chicken Noodle Broth or Chilled Broad Bean, Pea and Mint Soup. For those cold winter afternoons that call for something earthier, Roasted Cream of Tomato Soup with Pesto or French Onion Soup with Gruyere Rarebit are just the ticket. For ultimate nourishment, try Italian Wedding Soup or a classic Minestrone. Dinner parties and special occasions may call for an ocean-based bowl such as Clam Chowder or Prawn Gumbo, whilst those keen for global tastes may lean towards Costa Rican Black Bean Soup, or Korean-style Beef Broth. Occasions that require more indulgent treats can be fulfilled with whipping up Boxing Day Turkey Soup or Lasagne Soup. This book is also complete with recipes for dunkers and dippers, with everything from toasties and sandwiches, to crisp-breads and wraps. Feel-good and tasty, this book is a soup bible no matter the reason or season!
