'The only challenger to Jamie Oliver's world domination in the healthy fast-food stakes is the team behind Leon, which has built a mini-empire on the ethos that "food should taste good and do you good".' - Stylist

Leon Family & Friends is their fourth cookbook, created by Leon co-founder John Vincent and cookery writer and broadcaster Kay Plunkett-Hogge. At the heart of happy family life are meals spent together - sharing flavorful, nutritious food around the kitchen table and swapping stories of the day. Many feel they don’t have the time to cook for their families in the way they'd like, but Leon Family & Friends shows how to make the most of the available time to nourish loved ones and celebrates the power of food to bring people together.

The book is divided into three sections: Today, including great breakfast and brunch ideas and afternoon teas; Tomorrow, for occasions requiring some planning - weekend lunches, birthday parties, Christmas, and picnics; and finally, Yesterday, a culinary celebration of family food memories. With more than 200 recipes and ideas, there are dishes to keep everyone happy. Children will love the snacks in Crunch! Squish! Slurp! Parents will appreciate the quick dinners in After Lights Out. Moreover, no teenager should leave home without 10 Things to Know How to Cook Before You Leave Home.

A new Leon cookbook is always something to celebrate, and Family & Friends is destined to become a much-used classic on the kitchen bookshelf.
