Book excerpt: Kitchen Coquette is a cookbook that will make you smile. It will feed ten hungry friends, the man of your dreams, your lovely gran; even providing a bite to eat for all those inspired in-between moments. Katrina Meynink knows that sometimes food is the only answer so Kitchen Coquette provides the recipes with the context. It is important to know why you are cooking - who it is for, why it suits the occasion and to embrace the failures just as much as the successes. This is not a breakfast, lunch, dinner cookbook - this is a book that knows what you cook to fortify the soul is vastly different to what you might cook to impress a first date. It's a cookbook with some lifeblood ... one that is funny, real, approachable and challenging. A cookbook that makes you feel surges of culinary awesomeness. A go-to guide that gives you a sense of achievement, while embracing all those tear ruined, sweaty palmed and swear-word fuelled moments of life. All while providing the dish that suits.
