Whether you're after a hot night or a cool time, something to warm you up or chill you out, 'Hot Nights, Cool Days' by award-winning food writer Julie Biuso offers a range of irresistible food that you'll love to share with family and friends.
More than anything this book is about the enjoyment of food - casual fare at the water's edge, letting a long lunch roll on until late in the afternoon, experiencing the warm cosiness of dining beside the fire - as well as many other delicious occasions.
But it's not all a hedonistic rush of rich, luscious food, Julie Biuso is well aware of what the food you eat can do to your body, mind and soul. And so, while endorsing healthy eating, she shows you how to balance the good bits with the treats; in other words, how to have your cake and eat it, too.
Supported by Ian Batchelor's sublime food photography, 'Hot Nights, Cool Days' is a combination of wonderful food and superb images that will make you want to rush home with a copy under your arm and start replicating the dishes immediately.
