With recipes to suit every meal from simple tuna melt muffins for a tasty midday lunch or classic green beef curry with thai aubergines for supper, there are also dishes for groups of friends such as pork kebabs with barbecue sauce, or a melting cheese dip fondue. This innovative volume will serve all your meal-time requirements when you're in a hurry.


• 500 Best-Ever Recipes presents tried-and-trusted family dishes from all over the world, featuring soups, starters, fish and seafood, poultry and game, meat, vegetarian dishes, pasta, pizza and grains, vegetables and salads, and hot and cold desserts. Choose from a wide range of tempting dishes such as haddock and broccoli chowder, coq au vin, Irish stew, Normandy roast chicken, potato gnocchi with sauce, and boston banoffee pie.


• There is a special pleasure in eating fresh food according to the seasons, and with ingredients in their prime. 500 Seasonal Recipes is planned so you can choose just the dish to suit the time of year--making the most of the first peas, asparagus and new potatoes of the season, or the first mushrooms and apples of autumn. Enjoy teriyaki salmon fillets with ginger strips or pea and mint omelette in spring; summery classic gazpacho and wild berry tart; mushroom stroganoff and mussels in a cider and cream broth in autumn; and for winter, hearty potato and sausage casserole and baked leek and potato gratin.

With handy tips and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions throughout, and illustrated with over 2000 gorgeous colour photographs, this failsafe book collection means you will always have the perfect recipe at your fingertips.
