Bibby’s – More Good Food by Dianne Bibby

Bibby’s – More Good Food  embraces approachable food made with thoughtful consideration.

 

Devoid of intimidating complexities, the recipes are for the most part appealingly simple, versatile and straightforward. Many of the recipes are plant-centric without being exclusively vegetarian. Expect an abundance of textural contrast and funky flavour enhancers.

 

The book is divided into nine vibrantly fresh chapters, influenced  largely by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours. The author advises on what constitutes a well-stocked pantry and how to maximize its potential to the fullest. The busyness of weekdays is balanced with slower weekends, when a few gentler hours in the kitchen are just what’s needed. The doors are thrown open to hospitality, marrying food and creative tablescapes, setting the tone for intimate at-home gatherings. Meticulously crafted menus ensure a seamless transition from start to finish, with classy cocktails, traditional breads, resplendent mains and swoon-worthy desserts.

 

All the recipes are beautifully styled and photographed by the author herself. If you’re after food less ordinary, this is the book for you.
