Short of ideas for presents this Christmas?

Then how about the Crisis Cook Book?

The easy solution to your Christmas shopping, while helping homeless people look forward to a brighter New Year!

Nick Lander, Crisis supporter and restaurant correspondent for the FT has been working with Crisis to produce a Cook Book containing recipes from some of the word's top restaurants. 28 internationally renowned chefs have come together to create the Crisis Cook Book, a collection of recipes and wine essays in aid of Crisis.

In Nick's words…
"For the past 18 years I have had the good fortune to be the restaurant correspondent of The Financial Times which has brought me into close contact, and invariably close friendship, with some of the best chefs in the world. Their expertise and generosity with their recipes form the basis of this book. The attraction of the Crisis Cook Book is the opportunity to create from one slim volume a dinner party where the first course is inspired by Paul Bocuse, the main course comes from Simon Hopkinson and the dessert is one of three supplied by Clare Clark, the lovely English pastry chef now based at The French Laundry in California."

The Crisis Cook Book will be on sale in Marks & Spencer stores across the country from 22 November. The book costs £5 and would make a great Christmas stocking filler. Crisis will receive £3 from each copy sold.
