'A lush, warm, friendly book filled with recipes you can cook every day - and you'll want to. Her food hits the spot every time.'

• Sydney Morning Herald

"Feasting, my third book, is all about helping cooks create celebratory menus for gatherings of family and friends. The book is full of casual banquets with flavours from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, with plenty of tips for preparing in advance so that the host isn’t stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is partying. Many menus are organised seasonally, because that’s always my starting point for planning a meal, whether it’s Tuesday’s emergency dinner or next weekend’s extended family occasion."

Amazon.com review:

"Whether you are after a quick meal for one, a small family dinner or a feast for a crowd, Karen has you covered. In this exciting new collection of recipes, Karen invites us to choose just one delicious dish or put together an entire menu - whatever suits the occasion. Inspiring, instructive and beautifully photographed, Feasting reminds us that cooking good food, even the simplest dish, is cause for celebration."
