"Ah, the weekend...time to unwind...time to get together with family and friends. What better way to celebrate these precious two days off than with good food and wine enjoyed in an unencumbered setting? And who better than Michael McLaughlin to bring us a cookbook designed to meet all our weekend cooking needs? Beginning with "Saturday Lunch" and ending with "Later on Sunday", 'Cooking for the Weekend' provides year-round suggestions for cooking up fabulous food for the weekend : 48 menus built around 175 recipes for all seasons and any occasion, from a fancy Saturday night dinner party to a casual Sunday brunch. In addition, McLaughlin gives his time-tested strategies for organizing your weekend cooking, including do-ahead advice as well as suggestions for using leftovers wisely. There's even a section of quick and easy Friday night suppers, appropriately titled TGIF, for those times when you get an early jump on the weekend. So welcome to the weekend, when the living is easy and cooking is fun. Whether you're cooking one meal or many, for a few close friends or a houseful of company, with Michael McLaughlin at your side, a weekend spent even partially in the kitchen is a weekend enjoyed to the fullest."-- taken from book jacket flaps
