Myrna Robins Reviews Scrumptious Food for Family and Friends by Jane-Anne Hobbs

Scrumptious Food for Family and FriendsVerdict: carrot

At a time when most cookbooks focus on meals in minutes and shortcuts to feeding the family, this title is both refreshing and reassuring: there are young food writers out there who are spreading the word, along with plenty of butter, that the creation of memorable meals requires time, basic skills and enthusiasm.

Hobbs is a Hout Bay-based editor, journalist and a busy mother of three, who will always make time to cater for a special occasion dinner. She points out that while celebrity cooks create an interest in matters culinary, their television shows – which produce glistening dishes in minutes – can mislead, as the cooking processes are not screened.
