Even a “Turkey Curry Buffet” would make me so very happy right now! Oh my goodness, do I miss parties and gatherings. Nothing seems out of reach, and Pippa’s hosting tips are very useful. Of course, many of the recipes can be found elsewhere, they are, after all “classics”, but nonetheless there’s something quite lovely about flicking through while sipping a cup of tea that makes you look forward to and appreciate the little festive moments to enjoy throughout the year. There’s plenty of opportunity to reminisce, and reignite the pleasures of your childhood in party and food form. The photography is so aesthetically pleasing I find it really inspirational, and in many ways - comforting. Pippa guides you through “a year of British festivities for family and friends”, sharing classic recipes, as well as hosting, decorating, and crafting ideas season by season. They really slated this book for being “obvious”, but if you are new to entertaining or indeed love anything British then “Celebrate” really must sit on your shelves! I guess having a pretty face, shapely bottom and being close to the royals - those are, by proxy - valid reasons for the British press to dislike you. I feel sorry for Pippa, the press really went to town when her book was published. To write up, review, and share the ones I love, and perhaps share the experiments too, provided they’re not complete disasters! Pippa Middleton’s book Celebrate I often get emails from ladies asking me to share what my favourite recipe books are, and I thought this would be a fun way to do it. Nay, I’m not about to run off to some far flung island with unpaid tax lining my pockets, instead - every once in a while I will share a family favourite recipe that I return to time and time again, and our Sunday “Middleton Menu” inspired me to do so today. What better way to introduce it with than something “royally cheesy”, or at least - as close to royal as I’ll ever get.ĭrumroll please… I’m “cooking the books”! Carrying on with the cheesy comfort food theme, I’d like to introduce you to a new series here on the blog.
