Margaret Fulton’s new cookbook: cooking for family and friends. Margaret Fulton. 1993.

This is a book about the food we cook and enjoy today. It is about the way we approach breakfast, the way wen make a snack or prepare a light brunch or dinner, the special biscuits we bake for a wedding, the pastry discovered in France and the pleasure of making it at home. The recipes chosen for family meals, celebrations, picnics, luncheons with friends all reflect my love of cooking and earring, more so when enjoyed in good company.

I keep in mind the advice of nutritionists and health bodies - from them we can learn much about developing recipes for healthy food that tastes good. The changes in our eating habits have also been taken into consideration. We are learning to use different foods, appreciating grains and pulses, vegetables and fruits and turning them into nourishing and delicious meals. The keyword is variety: dolmen from Iran, couscous from North Africa, lentil and vegetable curries from India, Thai dishes, Vietnamese dishes - all increase our awareness of what’s good.
