Product Description

Something for the Weekend is a hugely successful Sunday morning BBC series; a cookery-come-chat show hosted by Tim Lovejoy and top chef Simon Rimmer. Together, they have taken 60 recipes from the show s most popular feature, Lazy Brunch, and produced the ultimate cookery book for late morning meals. With simple step-by-step instructions, easy cooking techniques and mouth-watering photography, Tim and Simon have made it possible to create the perfect brunch suited to whatever situation you find yourself in whether you re slumped on the sofa with the hangover from Hell; expecting a visit from mum and dad or perhaps entertaining someone special... Maybe you feel like something light and healthy after a late night, perhaps blueberry pancakes or pomegranate granola, or maybe only a hearty robust meat feast calzone or king prawn pad thai will hit the spot. There really is a dish here to suit everyone and to meet every requirement. Simon and Tim also accompany each recipe with useful tips from the show: do you know a simple trick to remove stray eggshell from a bowl of cracked eggs? The best way to peel an unripe banana? Their easy-going practical know-how makes these recipes even more accessible. This is the first book from the widely popular Sunday morning BBC TV series Something for the Weekend and is illustrated throughout with mouth-watering colour photographs. The recipes range from sophisticated dishes, like beetroot rosti with smoked salmon, to Tim s favourite service station fodder , scotch eggs with pickled onions.
