A self-confessed “serial dinner party host”, Alexandra Dudley has written two cookbooks, with the latest, Cooking Made Simple, out now, published in early March. A specialist in helping those eager to host, Dudley has long provided tips and tricks on how to “effortlessly entertain” and create the perfect evening, with recipes that are easy to recreate but which always please the crowd.
Of her latest cookbook, she says: “Simple is a word that can mean different things to different people, particularly in the kitchen. What might sound simple to a practiced cook, can seem very daunting to someone else with less confidence. However, years of cooking has taught me that many of the things I perhaps once deemed as complicated, are in fact not.”
