Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Marmalade

    • KateW on January 29, 2016

      This is a very good recipe, I have tried quite a few from my cookbook collection and this is the one I keep coming back to.

  • Courgette frittata

    • ChelseaP on March 08, 2023

      Love a frittata and usually make Athena Calderone’s but have decided to try branch out and make some different ones. This recipe is a keeper! I cooked the courgette for much longer because I like it soft and almost falling apart but otherwise followed recipe exactly and it turned out perfect.

  • Steamed chocolate cake

    • Poyma on November 13, 2025

      So chocolatey, not difficult. Freezes well, in case temptation is an issue!

  • Feijoa ice cream

    • ChelseaP on May 22, 2021

      WOW! Seriously this is unbelievably good. If you love feijoas and have an ice cream machine make this. Stupidly easy to make and the feijoa flavour is incredible.

Publishers Text

Margot Henderson's first cookbook will completely change the way we think about entertaining and family food - perfect for anyone who loved Nigella Lawson's "How to Eat", or Simon Hopkinson's "Roast Chicken and Other Stories". Want to cook dinner for fifteen? Have fifty people for drinks and canapes? Feed your family comforting food at lunch time? Make an elegant dinner for eight? Transport quantities of food to a picnic so it doesn't spill and crumble? In "You're All Invited", Margot Henderson, who cooks for between 30 to 200 people every day, shows you how: using her panache as a caterer for Arnold & Henderson and restaurateur at London's Rochelle Canteen, and drawing on her family life with Fergus Henderson and their three children, she provides 165 easy and delicious recipes for all occasions. "Oh, my word, this is an extra special cookery book. I have not enjoyed reading one as good as this for many years". (Simon Hopkinson). '"Generous, warm, relaxed, fun and stylish" - this is what Margot describes as the essentials for entertaining. Add to that delicious recipes, and you have this exceptional book from an exceptional woman". (Ruth Rogers, The River Cafe). "Within this book there are recipes for every occasion and mood; all written with great simplicity and understanding. This is a wonderful cookbook that really makes one want to cook". (Samantha Clark and Samuel Clark, Moro). "This book reiterates the great tradition of this family who are the best example of simple and generous hospitality from the heart". (Giorgio Locatelli, Locanda Locatelli). "Sometimes I think Fergus is the second best cook in the Henderson family. This book proves it". (David Chang, Momofuku).
