An Interview with Ross Dobson

Today's entertaining at home should be relaxed, affordable and fun. Top Sydney cook Ross Dobson's mantra is to keep it simple in this collection of fuss-free recipes. A chapter on Grazing offers ideas for drinks and finger-foods like Roast Pumpkin, Feta and Olive Empanadas. With the frugal cook in mind, Cheap and Cheerful has recipes for dishes that won't break the bank. Try Baked Thai-style Fish with Coriander Rice. Food in a Flash features dishes that can be thrown together with the minimum of effort, such as Pappardelle Pasta with Roast Fennel, Tomato and Black Olives or Roast Chicken Tabbouleh. A chapter of Chic Eats has perfect recipes for when you want to dine in style. Try Roast Beef Rib-eye with Café de Paris Butter. Sweet Things are always popular and a good way to end any meal, however informal. Treat your guests to Almond, Mascarpone and Pear Tart or Cherry and Walnut Brownies.
