About this deal

Ultimately, A Table Full of Love is ‘a reminder of why I enjoy cooking… I love to cook because I love the people that I cook for,’ says McAlpine. It’s the Valentine’s sugar-pink of the rhubarb, blushing under a blanket of melted Cheddar, that makes this feel like romantic food for me; though it’s the flavour – rhubarb’s intense earthy sourness counterbalanced by rich buttery pastry and melting cheese – that makes me long to eat it. As much as you might associate rhubarb with puddings and nursery fare, don’t be fooled: this is very much a savoury business and also very much a ‘grown-up’ dish.

Set against the backdrop of modern-day India, the show takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster ride, exploring the challenges and obstacles the protagonists face in their quest for true love. It comes from the Cocoon section which is aimed at encouraging people to cook when they are alone and there is no one else to feed. Bake the tortini straight from the freezer, in the middle of the oven, for 25 minutes, until lightly golden on top and slightly risen in the middle. Officially it has been certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA, with Billboard estimating sales of 3,490,000. These snippets showcase the show's unbeatable plot, filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep viewers hooked.It wasn’t so much grand dinner parties or lunch parties, it was more like… that feeling of bringing people into your life. Spoon a dollop of Pistachio Butter, pistachio cream or chocolate spread into the middle of each, then pour over the remaining white chocolate mix, dividing it equally between each ramekin so the pistachio or chocolate is completely covered.

That seems to have been McAlpine’s reaction when her friend Milly cooked chickpeas with loads of lemon – zest and juice. A dessert which could easily be served for Valentine’s Day or to treat a friend or oneself the next dish is so quick it is hardly a recipe at all. I love cooking for other people, but if it’s just me for supper… there’s a lot of complicated emotions. For myself I cook a lot of the salads from the Cocoon chapter, like the Lemony Chickpea and Walnut Salad for example… it’s the kind of thing I could eat a massive bowlful of really happily. When it came to devising the structure, McAlpine (who read Classics at the University of Oxford) looked to the classical age – civilisations with great reverence for both food and love – for inspiration.You can find the recipe for this lovely salad below is designed to feed one person as a main dish but you can scale it up easily.

And then cooking for your family, that feels like a different kind of love because in many ways that’s such a slog… that’s the one that can feel the hardest and it’s easiest to get disenchanted with, but maybe is in some ways also the most meaningful expression of love,’ she says. Coming in the wake of her two previous cookbooks, A Table in Venice and A Table for Friends, her latest, A Table Full of Love: Recipes to Comfort, Seduce, Celebrate and Everything Else in Between, is a distillation of that sentiment.Kishori Shahane is an Indian actress who has appeared in Hindi and Marathi movies and television shows.
