Synopsis: A holiday doesn’t need ro be about going away somewhere; it can just be a state of mind, a special stolen moment, a happy accident. It can be about taking time out or finding yourself somewhere you didn’t expect to be. For Bill Granger holidays are about laying down lifetime memories through food, taking time out to cook at leisure, relaxing weekends and lazy holidays. The recipes in this very personal collection are those that have marked Bill’s life so far, and those he’s creating for his own young family. Bill’s food remains as joyful and uncomplicated as ever, whether you want to make a pot of soup for the first cold day of autumn, invite friends for barbequed fish and salads, serve breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Day, or get some great ideas for a three-course Christmas lunch.
