Simplicity is the latest buzz-word in the culinary world. Forget exotic ingredients, elaborate preparation, elegant plating: the trend now is for healthy, delicious food, prepared and served with a minimum of fuss.

Ginny Love cooks this way naturally. A busy mother of four herself, with a background in catering and running a restaurant, she has developed recipes and methods for making food preparation simple - and delicious.

"There is more to Simply Love than recipes. Ginny's philosophy on eating together as a family and the positive results it elicits are at the heart of this cookbook. Love's collection of simple, delicious dishes inspires one to get into the kitchen and share, from the barbecued chicken with Dijon mustard and rosemary marinade to the gingerbread cake and caramel sauce. Along with her fail-proof family recipes, Ginny walks you through preparing Christmas dinner and how to tackle a community meal for 10 people." Lesley Stowe

"Ginny's philosophy and advice to readers is exactly how I feel regarding family dining. A home-cooked meal from a mother's heart is truly an expression of love." John Bishop
