'Jane's recipes are just the sort of unfussy dishes you feel like cooking and eating again and again.' Xanthe Clay, Telegraph columnist

The Get Ahead Cook is packed full of easy, uncomplicated and foolproof recipes to take the stress out of cooking. Divided into six chapters: 'Starters & Small Plates', 'Brunching & Lunching', 'Easy Suppers & Comforting Food', 'Feasts for Friends', 'Salads & Sides' and 'Sweet Things' - these dishes are all contemporary and beautifully presented, yet deceptively simple. Importantly for the home cook, they also all have get-ahead elements to spread and lighten the load, making them invaluable for everyday cooking and especially for entertaining. Jane's tried-and-tested hints and tips throughout the book offer a confidence-boosting guiding hand to home cooks of all levels.

'Jane Lovett is one of my very favourite cookery writers. Her recipes are simultaneously complex in flavour and simple in preparation.' Charlotte Pike, Chair of the Guild of Food Writers
