THEN SHE OFFERS A FEAST OF APPETISERS, SOUPS, SALADS, LUNCH, SIDE AND DINNER DISHES, IDEAS OF LEFTOVERS, STUFFINGS, SAUCES, BUNS, CAKES, BREADS AND DRINKS. THIS IS AN EXHAUSTIVE ANTHOLOGY RANGING FROM TIME-HONOURED AND NURSERY FAVOURITES TO MORE ESOTERIC, POSITIVELY SURPRISING FOREIGN CONCOCTIONS FROM SUCH FAR- FLUNG CORNERS AS THE LEBANON, TUNISIA, THAILAND AND PERU.
