Everyday Novelli is full of recipes that look and taste delicious but are easy to recreate. Helping you cook for every meal of the day and every day of the week, there are recipes to suit all palates.

Jean-Christophe has thought of everything.

Make the most of seasonal ingredients and fresh herbs, and find recipes for days when you want an immediate food fix as well as indulgent dishes for when you want to spend some time in the kitchen. Each recipe includes hints and tips that Jean-Christophe has picked up over the years - it'll be almost as good as having him in the kitchen with you.

With more than 100 recipes and as many beautiful colour photographs of dishes prepared personally by Jean-Christophe, Everyday Novelli is a book to treasure but it is also a book to cover in butter and flour as you cook from it day after day after day ...
