Real Family Food - Antony Worrall Thompson
'Look after your body, feed it well and it will serve you well.'
`A Dad as well as a cook, AWT has developed a wealth of recipes that the whole family will love - recipes which should appeal to grown ups and kids alike, easy to make, and packed full of healthy ingredients.......
A modern cookbook for the whole family, 'Real Family Food' helps to make shopping, cooking and healthy eating a real pleasure to be shared together.'
176 shiny, high quality pages split over 10 main chapters:-
Breakfasts
Lunches
Lunchboxes
After-School Dinners
Weekend Dinners
Vegetables
Picnics & Barbeques
Puddings
Cakes & Biscuits
Celebrations
with further sub-sections, entitled:-
Slow Release Energy Ideas
Lifestyle & Carbohydrates
Good Fats & Bad Fats
Salt
Making Mealtimes with Kids Fun
Getting Kids Cooking
Plus an introduction re `You, Your Kids and Food', AWT's `House Rules' and an index.
Clear ingredient list and step-by-step method for each recipe, which is highlighted in a `traffic light system', of red, amber and green, the latter allowing you to eat as many of these dishes as you like, amber requiring a little more caution, and red recommending only one of this sort of dish a day.
Useful informative tips throughout , e.g.:-
`It is said to take 17 experiences of the same food for a child to get used to it, so you have to persist.'
and at the head of each recipe, e.g.:-
Mainstay Mince
`With all the problems associated with beef, mince has slipped out of favour which is silly as beef is now probably safer than it has been for 20 years. This is a good stand-by by for making imto lots of dishes so make large amounts and freeze.'
Then follows a useful recipe to make 12 servings.
At the foot of each recipe is an `Also Try' section with suggested variations.
This useful book is interspersed with the usual AWT humour, e.g:-
Dublin Coddle - `Coddling means slow cooking, and this slow-cooked dish is a wonderful winter comfort food.
I married my Dublin wife, Jacinta, hoping she would cook this dish (it wasn't the only reason), but unfortunately she had never experienced the delights. This typical dish of bacon, sausages, and potatoes originates from the 17th Century.
I have since added cabbage - sorry Dublin!'
Inverted Cheeseburger - `There are burgers and there are real burgers. Try this one.'
There is a reasonable amount of photography throughout, but not of every dish, which may be slightly negative to some who prefer to see what they are aiming for!
A Selection of the Recipes, in no particular order:-
A Version of Spaghetti Carbonara
Chicken, Sweetcorn and Pasta Salad
My Scotch Eggs
Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage
Cottage Pies in Baked Potatoes
Fresh Lemonade
Creamy Scrambled Eggs in Roast Mushrooms Cups
Tomato and Basil Poached Fish
Oriental Salmon with Asian Slaw
Roast Loin of Pork with Apple Sauce
Basic Pizza Base
Potato, Onion and Gorgonzola Bake
Mediterranean Carrot Rolls
Baked Soufflé Bananas
the intriguing:-
Spiced Cats' Tongues
Saucy Pigs in Blankets
and, my favourite - a `RED' dish, (naturally) is
`Raspberry Pavlova Roulade'!
`This is not an everyday pud as it's so rich and sweet, but it's so delicious that I had to add it to the book for the odd occasion.'
And mark my words - it is simply fantastic!
