Food with Friends is the second cookbook from The Sorted Crew, with recipes by Ben Ebbrell. It's the ultimate guide for entertaining friends in a fun and fuss-free way, from romantic suppers and family barbecues to curry nights for hungry hordes. Whether you're cooking for two or twenty, Food with Friends by The Sorted Crew is THE book for easy entertaining.

The Sorted Crew came together in their university holidays, sharing their cooking highs and lows with each other in the pub. Headed up by Ben Ebbrell and Barry Taylor, this original group of 8 mates with an interest in food has now grown into a highly engaged online community of hundreds of thousands, that works together to get food challenges sorted. The SortedFood video recipes on YouTube now get millions of views every month. They self-published two recipe books, A Recipe for Student Survival and A Rookie's Guide to Crackin' Cooking, and Beginners... Get Sorted was their first book with Penguin.
