Simply Stylish Entertaining at Home is Master Chef’s prescription to revive the art and joy of sharing home-cooked meals with family and friends. Resist the temptation to order in or dine out at a retaurant the next time you have to entertain. Pick up this book instead and discover the many great ideas for serving up simple and exotic meals with ease and elegance.

Colourful drinks like imli ka amlana and kokum and anar slush are great ice-breakers. Served with Tandoori Sibz Shaslik, Potli Kabab, Steamed Cabbage Rolls or Prawn Varuval, they can keep the conversation humming along till it is time for dinner. What better way to warm the soul than a frothy Mushroom Cappuccino or a delicately flavoured Prawn Ball Soup; or to freshen the palate with a Salade Nicoise or Coriander Prawn and Mango Salad? And once their appetite is whetted, let your guest feast on the wide variety of main dishes - from earthly Chole Dhania Masala to exotic Ratatouille; from aromatic Chicken Laksa to hearty Dal Gosht. And to end the occasion on a sweet note, serve up Sizzling Fruit Kababs or chilled Yogurt and Chiku Ice Cream.

The next time you entertain, do it at home with simplicity and style!
