The book opens with a brief intrduction from Joanna Farrow on the delights and simplicity of minimalist cooking, and the tricks of the trade behind achieving maximum value from minimum ingredients. Because each dish only has four components you really learn how to make the most of the food, and one of the keys to success is employing top-quality ingredients to get the best of taste and texture into the dish.

The heart of the book is the 70 sensational recipes which are divided into five easy-to-use chapters covering every type of meal and suitable for every type of event and occasion: soups and appetizers; salads and side dishes; main meals; tea-time treats; and desserts.

All the recipes are shown in step-by-step detail with photographic instructions guaranteeing perfect results. There is a glorious colour photograph of every finished dish so you know from the outset exactly what you are hoping to achieve. Appetizing ideas to try include Pheasant Cooked in Port and Mushrooms, Spiced Lentils and Crab Risotto, or treat your guests with tangy Apricot and Ginger Gratin or melt-in-the-mouth Hot Chocolate Rum Souffles.

Whatever the occasion, you will find this the perfect collection of simple, sophisticated and delicious recipes to make your entertaining at home a complete success, everytime. And given the value, glamour and flavours you will be able to create using this book, your friends, family and guests will be stunned when you tell them that each course is made with only four ingredients.
