Weekend Recipes by Jess Elliott Dennison

Weekends, as they should be.

In this beautifully considered book by Jess Elliott Dennison, cooking slows down and stretches across the day, from the first coffee to the last spoonful. With chapters spanning Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Baking, Dinner and Pudding, it’s a collection made for when work is paused and there’s time to properly enjoy the kitchen and the company around you.

Expect recipes for bright, sherbet-y lemon curd for morning toast; crostini with roast pepper, charred silverskin onions and Parmesan for lunch; and a comforting supper of spaghetti with oregano meatballs, followed by blackcurrant pavlova with lemon and bay custard.

Written, tested and photographed from her studio in Edinburgh, and printed in Wales, it’s a book that feels as thoughtful as the food within it - generous, unfussy, and made for sharing.
