Does the idea of a hot steaming bowl of soup with freshly baked bread and a tasty spread sound tempting to you? If so, this is your book. Soups, Breads, and Spreads contains lots of great recipes for everyday meals as well as dinner parties.

In this book we offer suggestions for putting together a tasty meal. Indeed, with 30 recipes each for soups, breads and spreads, the possibilities are endless - and we encourage our readers to come up with their own favourite combinations.
