Pippa Middleton has landed a supermarket job.

Duchess Catherine's sister - who last year released a book on entertaining called 'Celebrate' - will write a column for Waitrose Kitchen magazine, the supermarket chain's monthly publication, entitled Pippa's Friday Night Feasts, giving readers 'casual dining ideas and recipes'.

The 29-year-old socialite said: 'I'm delighted to be writing for Waitrose Kitchen, a magazine that's always been a source of inspiration to me, for its extensive spectrum of food and beautiful style.

'My column, 'Pippa's Friday Night Feasts' will be an exciting opportunity to share my own passion and enthusiasm for food and entertaining and I can't wait to get started.'

Waitrose Kitchen editor William Sitwell added: 'Pippa will be an excellent contributor to the magazine, bringing with her a wealth of experience of entertaining, gained in part from working at her family's party business.

'Readers will love her relaxed and easy entertaining ideas which will help with the preparation for all sorts of occasions.'

Pippa's first column will feature in the April issue of the magazine and she will also appear on the cover.

The author became a household name after she served as her sister's maid of honour during her wedding to Prince William in 2011.

Pippa's book, 'Celebrate', received negative reviews upon its release last year with critics branding the socialite's party planning tips - which included suggesting that turkeys 'because of their size ... are perfect for feeding larger gatherings' - 'glaringly obvious'.
