Publishers Text

Food and drink are always welcome gifts - and even more so if they're homemade. But if you're busy, settling down to bake or cook can seem too labour-intensive, and wrapping the results prettily even more so. Surely it would be simpler to pick up a decent bottle at the store, or buy some homemade goodies at the local delicatessen or down at the farmer's market? Not if you know the tricks of the trade. Making and packaging gift food yourself really can be nearly as simple as buying it. And it's not only cheaper, it's also infinitely more satisfying both for the giver and for the recipient. Simple Pleasures shows you exactly how, with a great range of food and drink you can make at home - from three-fruit marmalade and homemade madeira cake to brown-sugar fudge and limoncello - and the perfect way to present each to its best effect, without frills or fanfare. Whether you are bringing preserve bottles of fresh chutney or a neatly folded box of fruit candy, you'll learn how to give every delicious gift an elegant twist that will be remembered long after your present has been celebrated and devoured. Stephanie Evans has worked as a cook and lived for many years in France, where she developed her passion for good food. Andrew Franks has been making preserves and liqueurs for over 20 years. Susanna Tee is an accomplished cook and author who has travelled widely in Europe and beyond.
