A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

It is a "culinary event - ranking somewhere between the publication of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management and Delia Smith's first appearance on television", says The Times.

ventures The Guardian.

Unable to find the words to describe this event itself, The Daily Telegraph turns to Twitter user Brian Williams who asks: "Jesus wept! She gets paid for writing this tripe?"

Step forward Pippa Middleton, sister of the more famous Princess Kate, who has a new column in Waitrose Kitchen magazine and is at the centre of all this excitement.

Her long journey to food writer started at the University of Edinburgh, we learn.
Like most students, she enjoyed nothing more than spending her time making sushi in front of the rugby on TV.

It's a delight that she's keen to share with the rest of us. Just remember - keep the rice layer thin and be generous with the filling.

Anyway, lest there be any confusion as to when to put these new skills to the test, the papers direct us to the title of her column - "Friday Night Feasts". Ah.

"Fridays, of course, hold the promise of the weekend," points out Pippa, helpfully adding that they are a safe distance from Sunday's "pre-Monday melancholy".

Yet " suggests The Times.

After making your sushi rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls, hoisin duck rolls and ginger mojitos, it's time to think about the table.

Pippa suggests decorating with cherry blossoms, roses, orchids, anemones, or bundles of exotic fruit, The Times says. And don't forget the paper lanterns and floating candles.

To Paper Monitor this all sounds like an exhortation to shake off the end of the week slough and make the most of life. But where can we find out more from the author of Celebrate?

The Telegraph comes to the rescue:

Time to find out more.
