Cooking to Impress – Without Stress

If ever a book is going to give you confidence in the kitchen and allow you to enjoy cooking for other people, this is it. At home we want to relax and enjoy the company of our visitors without being tied to the stove or fretting about impending disaster. With this in mind Annabel Langbein has created this beautiful book. Drawing on a lifetime of cooking skills, she uses fresh ingredients and streamlined techniques easily accessed by the home cook to produce memorable and enjoyable meals without last-minute stress and effort. 

"Langbein's experience shows in this, her 10th self-published book. Offering more than just a fabulous collection of recipes (there are endless variations and ideas), the book centres on flash food to show off to your friends. Most of it is quickly put together, or the kind of dish that can be prepared ahead so you can have a soak in the bath, or a wander around the garden with a gin before the guests arrive. Langbein covers all the extras, the drinks, table settings, accompaniments, and gives a range of menus and manages a touch of humour, too – remember that too many chardonnays ruin the cook."  – Julie Biuso, NZ Herald
