MARY GILLIATT'S FABULOUS FOOD AND FRIENDS: Entertaining Princess Margaret, Spike Milligan and other friends

Famous interior designer Mary Gilliatt recounts some of the dinner parties she enjoyed with her husband who was the Best Man at Princess Margaret's wedding. As well as sharing some of the recipes used (a mixture of the indulgent and the do-able), she reveals the hidden side of some of Britain's most famous and loved names, including Spike Milligan and Princess Margaret.

The political, royal, publishing and entertainment world complement the tasty morsels and wine matching in this luxurious but strangely accessible world. A charming and beautiful read from the accomplished writer.
