A Basket by the Door

A Basket by the Door
By Sophie Hansen

Nothing says “I love you, I’ve got you, and I’m here” better than a parcel of food thoughtfully made, wrapped, and delivered. A Basket by the Door offers 130 seasonal recipes designed for friends and loved ones who are moving house, welcoming a newborn, celebrating milestones, recovering from illness, grieving, or simply in need of a little love and care.

This heartwarming collection celebrates friendship, connection, and country hospitality made edible. From easy bundles of dips and lavosh biscuits for drinks, portable breakfasts to surprise a friend, to picnic cakes, sandwiches, comforting ragùs, chocolate mousse, and jam jars of bright smoothies—there’s something for every occasion. Whether cheering up a neighbor with a chicken pie, making Christmas biscuits with friends, or preparing thoughtful meals to share, this book shows how food can be a gesture of love, care, and connection.
