`If this collection of recipes does nothing else, I would like to think it encourages people -family, friends, households - to share at least one meal together, two or three times a week.'

Since having her first child, Karen Martini has spent a lot more time contemplating the eternal question of what to have for dinner. No longer able to pop out to a restaurant at a moment's notice or to the shops...

'My food is an expression of my heritage, a product of my curiosity and the result of my hunger!'

This collection of Karen Martini's inspiring recipes from her hugely popular column in Sunday Life magazine is packed with simple, wonderfully accessible and delicious ideas. An enthusiastic champion of fresh produce and a strong advocate of cooking for fun and flavour, Karen simply loves to cook.
