For food-lover and cook Sam Gates, the best meals are those shared with the people we love, when the humblest ingredients, casually gathered, seem to magically turn into fine feasts. Written with refreshing honesty and humour, Food for your Brood throws out formality in favour of relaxed, vibrant meals to share with the special people in your life. Whether you need a rocket under your everyday menu, or posh nosh for high days and holidays, this cookbook is packed with Sam's practical, innovative (and ruthlessly tested!) recipes that jump off the page, grab you by the hand and steer you at high speed towards the kitchen. Gather your brood together and get cooking, sharing memories and laughter over plenty of good things to eat.
