Bring a bottle of olive oil and some Parmesan! Ina's Italian importer friend is coming to dinner and she's making an Italian feast. Tuscan white bean soup, herbed roast leg of lamb, roasted fennel and summer fruits with vanilla mascapone.

Ina shares all her catering secrets when she hosts a book party for a friend. Cheddar cheese a chutney brioche, Tuna tartare, smoked salmon tea sandwiches and cup cakes decorated with pansies. There will be no hungry guests and time to enjoy the party.

It all starts with one lemon and garlic roast chicken served with baby leaf with crispy bacon and parmesan salad which lives on to become chicken stock and chicken tabbouleh salad. Ina invites her garden designer friend to decorate the garden.
