- Five-page Asian 'feast' is first in a series of Friday Night Feast columns
Menu costs £116.13 to buy (£108.34 with offers) for party of six
- Cost includes one cocktail each, one prawn spring roll, three duck rolls
- Also includes six small sushi pieces and jelly for pudding
- Features five recipes including ginger mojito and tangerine and sake jelly
- Critics say light menu would not be enough to feed a hungry adult
- Magazine editor William Sitwell calls Pippa and her food 'tremendous'
- Said critics who ridiculed her appointment are just 'jealous'
Pippa Middleton's first column for Waitrose magazine has been unveiled today, confirming the duchess' sister's ascent from party planner to professional foodie.
The Asian feast boasts five recipes across five pages of the glossy magazine, all of which have been tried and tested by Pippa herself.
And while many were braced for the sort of facile recipes that were so roundly criticised when Pippa released her much-lampooned guide to entertaining last year, here there are plenty of ideas for the budding chef - and even the more experienced home cook - to get their teeth into - even if there is very little real cooking involved.

Kate Middleton proved herself to be a dab hand at breadmaking when she joined a Scout group for an
adventure-filled day in the
Lake District
on Friday. When she cooked traditional unleavened camping bread on an
open fire, the instructor described her attempt as "brilliant".
Volunteers in the group congratulated her on her efforts as she urged
them to try some of her 'twister' bread. She then tried some herself.
"Oh it's actually not bad," she said. "If you were desperately hungry."

William's honorary appointment was detailed in the Court Circular and the Duke wore the insignia for the first time at the St Patrick's Day parade for the 1st Battalion Irish Guards at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire.
The position has few duties but will be seen as symbolic of William's growing role within the Royal Family.
It comes after a week in which the monarch, who has been suffering from gastroenteritis, cancelled most of her public engagements.

Dressed in the same green Emilia Wickstead dress coat she wore to the event last year, Kate smiled broadly as she greeted soldiers from the 1st Battalion Irish Guards at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire.
Her bump could only occasionally be seen under the coat - which was an appropriate colour for the occasion.
Under grey skies, the pregnant Duchess took her position next to the Duke on a podium which offered them cover from the rain.
The royals looked on as the first bars of the National Anthem were played out.
