You know those quiet, long breakfasts on the weekend, which sneakily, with woolen socks on, change to lunch and from that to an easy-to-prepare, but last but not least, delicious dinner? The weekend on a plate cookbook brings together all the recipes - not forgetting the drink recommendations - that are part of the enjoyable time that ends the everyday busyness. Behind the weekend on a plate book is chef Teemu Aura, who knows how nice and easy recipes without sacrificing taste. The weekend and feasting go hand in hand, but on our days off we also want to leave time for lounging on the sofa instead of standing in the kitchen, and then the recipes should be suitably simple.

This book is dedicated to all weekend exams. For those of us who want to create unforgettable food memories with friends and family. Also for those of us who don't count calories even on weekends and equally for those of us who need inspiration to tickle our taste buds.
