About this title

From the Inside Flap

Conviviality and fun make any meal more memorable. Meals often take place on the go-in the workplace, in the car, on the boat. Laughter happens more often at an impromptu beach barbecue, an alfresco terrace supper, or during beakfast in bed than at formal meals at the dining table.

This innovative book allows us to combine our busy schedules with moments of perfect relaxation, with food to match. Whether you are grabbing a quick snack in the office, or preparing a lavish celebration, mobility is key. Clare Ferguson reveals how to prepare, pack, and serve over 100 sumptuous recipes away from the kitchen and dining room. Portable Feasts provides food on the move: from a romantic picnic to a family barbecue, it helps you choose from a variety of dishes, prepared with as much or as little effort as you would like to put into them. Dishes served warm straight from their containers, cool salads, and food cooked on the spot are all described in mouth-watering detail, together with suggestions for desserts and refreshing drinks.

There is skill in bringing food to its destination fresh, safe and pretty. This book tells you about appropriate containers, serving tools, and saftey tips, in addition to mouth watering recipes. Every portable feast you create can be a success, and the suggestions in this book make it easy. Bon appetit!
