"This isn't a baking book. It's an eating book" - James Ramsden. The Five Day Loaf is a collection of thrifty, delicious dishes designed to make the most of your bread, minimise food waste, and inspire creativity. Comprising around 80 recipes, each chapter looks at a day in the life of a loaf and offers a variety of exciting ways to use it.

Welcome friends with an aperitif, before serving up a home-cooked feast, without spending precious socialising time in the kitchen. Chef James Ramsden first honed his skill for creating exciting food without fuss at his supper club, The Secret Larder. Here, he shares the secret to preparing meals for guests. The key is simple: make it in advance.

The festive season is when most of us need a bit of help in the kitchen. So many parties to prepare for, not to mention the big day itself, when family and friends converge for the Christmas feast. This is where James Ramsden's 'do-ahead' approach to cooking comes into its own, allowing the cook to enjoy being with their guests instead of stuck in the kitchen. With practical advice for making delicious and creative festive food well in advance, from party canapes, to Christmas lunch with all the trimmings, even drinks and edible gifts, ideas for scaling up, menu planning and storage. Do-Ahead Christmas is the book that no foodie can do without.
