How you choose to share your time and your cooking creations with your loved ones is entirely up to you. What each kind of gathering has in common, however, is a happy, welcoming atmosphere. Rachel Allen's wise words, clever hints and tips and, above all, irresistible recipes will inspire readers to entertain at home - especially during these stay-at-home days.
