If you need to rediscover the pleasures of weekend cooking this collection will suit your every mood. Whether it is a magical dinner, something quick and simple, afternoon tea, or a traditional all-the-trimmings Sunday roast, Tamasin's recipes and menus can be confidently executed by any cook. This book caters for all eventualities. What shines through is Day-Lewis's earthy brand of food, which is allowed to speak for itself: real roast chicken with giblet gravy; blueberry genoise cake; an alluring pale red Bloody Mary made with fresh tomatoes from the garden and horseradish root; scrambled eggs; baked apple creme brulee.' Bee Wilson in New Statesman

Summary: Always the best
Comment: This book is based on a nice idea -- if guests are coming for the weekend, what should you give them Friday (something that can slowly cook while you are out or cook quickly when you get home), Saturday (easy, self-service breakfasts, simple lunches, tea, and a substantial supper to go with good conversation), and Sunday (breakfast and dinner -- usually a variation on the traditional roast of some sort). Everything has Day-Lewis's healthy, earthy, flavorful trademark style. Some recipes are duplicated in others of her books, but there are lots of new recipes, great descriptions, and inspriring photos.
Day-Lewis's cooking is rooted in English tradition, but, like the best of current English cooking, is heavily influenced by French, Italian, and other international styles, especially Indian, and has a strong bent toward seasonal freshness. It doesn't sound that different from recent American style cooking, but the difference is there, and it gives both the food and the writing an extra dimension. Check out her other books too. My favorite is probably Simply the Best, which is the shortest statement of Day-Lewis's philosophy of food and life.
