Family by Claudine Boulstridge
Some cookbooks earn their place on the shelf. This one comes with a very personal recommendation from me.
Claudine isn't simply the talented chef behind Family — she's also my beautiful friend, which means my family have had the rather lovely job of being occasional taste-testers along the way.
There is genuine excitement in our house when a food parcel from Claudine appears on the doorstep. And there have been plenty of phone calls that begin with a new dish she wants us to try.
It's a hardship, as you can imagine. ❤️
What I've always loved about Claudine's food is that it doesn't make feeding a family feel complicated. Her recipes are approachable, delicious and designed for the way families actually live.
Family, her debut cookbook, brings all of that together in one beautiful book.
Inside you'll find more than 100 recipes, from mini crustless quiches and rainbow sandwiches to healthy-style burgers and chocolate mousse pudding, alongside one-pot dishes, prepare-ahead meals and plenty of ideas that don't leave the kitchen looking as though you've catered for fifty people.
The recipes are easy to follow and they're brilliant for getting children involved in the kitchen too — even if their contribution occasionally extends no further than the eating stage.
As a French-British chef, mother of three and hugely experienced recipe developer, Claudine understands that we'd all like to feed the people we love well, but we don't necessarily have hours to do it.
And that's what makes this book special. It isn't about perfection or creating another set of rules around food. It's about bringing people together around the table with food they'll actually want to eat.
For me, food has always been about far more than what's on the plate. It's connection, conversation and memories made around a table.
And that's why Family has earned its place at Tenacious.
