Fressing at the launch of Emma Spitzer's book, Fress

Only a Jewish cookbook launches with fish balls and fizz, and this launch was worth celebrating.

Emma Spitzer is superwoman. Not only did she get to the MasterChef final in 2015, but she is a mother to four primary school-age girls and runs a successful travel company. If that wasn’t enough, she has found the time to write a (very good) cookery book. We’re not worthy.

I was lucky enough to score an invitation to celebrate the launch of her book, charmingly titled Fress: Bold flavours from a Jewish kitchen. How could I not love it? It also has a rosy, pink cover, which most girls are going to fall in love with. They even made cute little cookies with the cover on it for which the portmanteau was a 'bookie'.

The launch was at Borough Kitchen, my most favourite kitchen shop — other branches are in Hampstead and Chiswick — run by the charming and gorgeous Justin Kowbel and equally lovely business partner, David Caldana.
