Don’t miss the launch of Annabel Frere’s new cookbook Help! There’s a Guest at My Table.

A generation of young adults have come to know, love and depend on Help! There’s a Stove in My Kitchen, Annabel Frere’s first cookbook. That same generation has graduated to the young professionals who now need to entertain on a somewhat more sophisticated level. Author Annabel has been through all these stages with her own daughters and once again provides a repertoire of tasty and relatively simple recipes for events ranging from impromptu gatherings to well-organised occasions.

Much emphasis is placed on good planning, as well as preparing foods in advance so that the cook can spend as much time with his or her guests, rather than in the kitchen on the day itself. Attention is also given to texture and presentation, with plenty of tips and suggestions for effortless entertaining. Where dishes may seem to be more complicated, Annabel is an expert at demystifying them. And of course, no party is complete without the right liquid accompaniments so there is a chapter on some delicious cocktails, both with and without alcohol.

Annabel will be in conversation with Hilary Biller, Food Editor for the Sunday Times. Snacks and drinks will be available.
