A Platter of Figs continues along these themes, emphasizing the importance and pleasures of cooking at home for family of friends, and presenting relatively easy recipes in a menu format that is divided into seasons. In other words, the way he suggests we should all think about food and cooking. The dishes are simple enough for a family supper and intriguing enough for a dinner party, and the food photography throughout the cookbook is mouth-watering.

In between all that goodness Chef Tannis offers insights, food memories, techniques, and food lore in small snippets that add to the charm of the book.]]>
