Cook Now, Eat Later - Tapa dura

This cookbook is for the keen, busy cook who does not want to spend hours in the kitchen before having friends in for a kitchen supper - or a more formal meal. Mary Berry gives clear instructions on freezing and thawing where appropriate and how to add the final touches that make dishes look really appetising: assembling a cold starter, perhaps adding a sauce to the main course and decorating a mouthwatering dessert.

Based on the best ingredients and taking practical short cuts wherever possible, Mary's easy-to-follow recipes and tips give every home cook confidence so that entertaining is a breeze.
