Mr & Mrs Wilkinson’s How It Is At Home BY MATT WILKINSON AND SHARLEE GIBB

Good family fare – that’s what this book purports to provide. That, and a glimpse into the life of this food couple and their two sons. A handy list of last-minute dinners sits upfront for those times you need something on the table pronto. Then the recipes kick in with plenty of lunchbox inspiration, Sunday baking sessions, picnic fodder, dinners for when the kids are away… A fine gift for a busy food-loving fam.
