Claudia Cooks for Friends: Atmospheric Dining and Pampering Guests

Claudia Allemeersch was an unknown until she won the popular VTM program "The Best Hobby Chef of Flanders". Week after week, viewers could see how she grew in the competition. The tension was palpable during the final, with Claudia as the eventual winner.

But Claudia is more than a good amateur chef. She is also an excellent hostess, and with her first book she wants to show that organizing a dinner at your home can be a relaxing rather than a stressful affair. And so much more fun than going to a restaurant!

Claudia guides the reader through organizing parties at home. She selected 12 menus for this, from easy to sophisticated, to appeal to every reader. She provides a manual with each menu that shows your time schedule, so that you can spend as much time as possible with your guests. In addition, she provides tips and information about techniques, table decoration and receiving guests with each menu.
