Weekend Recipes Cookbook by Jess Elliott Dennison

With chapters for Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Baking, Dinner and Pudding, these are the flavours and methods for when work is on pause and there's more time for connecting with your ingredients, kitchen and company.

Featuring Jess's sherbet-y lemon curd for spreading over toast in the morning; roast pepper, charred silverskin onion and Parmesan crostini for midday; and spaghetti and oregano meatballs followed by blackcurrant pavlova with lemon and bay custard for the evening. The whole weekend is here.

Written, tested, photographed and published from Jess's Studio in Edinburgh.

Printed by a family business in Wales, UK.
