Quick, easy and tasty suppers

Caroline Marson offers many ideas which are divided into specific chapters for different occasions. The first chapter, No-cook Deli Suppers, is packed with great ideas for pizzas, pastas and platters using ingredients bought from a deli or supermarket. Enjoy Parpardelle with Artichoke Hearts and Parma Ham or an Italian-style Mixed Meats Platter.

Home too late to be able to handle a heavy meal? In the Light Bites chapter you’ll find a tempting Beetroot, Walnut and Warm Goats’ Cheese Salad. While the Simple Suppers sectionshows how to create Spanish Sausage and Butter Bean Tagine and Minted Lamb Pittas.

If limited time has always meant entertaining friends mid-week, then try a simple yet sophisticated dish from the Supper with Friends chapter, such as Vodka Poached Salmon with Coriander Pesto. Always remembering to save room for some of the treats in the Sweet Things section, like Iced Summer Berries with Hot White Chocolate Sauce. In the final chapter, Transforming Simple Food, you’ll find the best accompaniment dishes.

Featuring mouth-watering photography by Peter Cassidy, No-Fuss Suppers will inspire you to stay away from tasteless ready meals and take-aways for good.
