Whatever the occasion, if you want to be crowned the king or queen of entertaining, this is the book for you.

Packed full of over a hundred recipes from the show, covering everything from light, summery suppers (such as pea velouté followed by monkfish with a Mediterranean salsa and white chocolate and coconut terrine) to hearty, warming comfort food for a cold winter’s day (such as French onion soup followed by fillet of beef with roasted shallots and praline liqueur cheesecake), there are delicious dishes here for every celebration.

With top entertaining tips and handy hints to help you to create fresh, seasonal delights, plus a guide to organizing your very own Come Dine With Me competition, this official companion takes the quest for the perfect dinner party to another level.
