Synopsis

Widely renowned for being the bedrock of the Ramsay household, and as a busy mother of four, Tana knows how important it is to use what little time you have wisely. Her philosophy for enjoying a relaxed and rewarding life is refreshing: it's important to be healthy, but also to take time to have fun; it's good to get your children to eat their greens, but also to instill in them a lifelong love of good food. Tana Ramsay will be your best friend in the kitchen, especially when time is limited and serenity is in short supply.

Tana's fabulous recipes range from Veal with mozzarella and red pepper sauce to Blackberry Ice-cream to international favorites such as Thai Red Curry and Moroccan Fish Tagine. The recipes are accompanied by invaluable tips, such as how to make a breadcrumb coating really crispy, how to stop your pastry sticking when rolling it out, how to cook dried pasta to perfection and how to create the lightest of cakes.

Tana Ramsay shares her secrets for creating the very best home food with minimum time and effort.

Reviews

With the last name of Ramsay (yes, wife of Chef Ramsay, the star of HellÖs Kitchen and RamsayÖs Kitchen Nightmares), quirky, stylish, and cheery may not be the first words that come to mind, but cookbook author Tana Ramsay presents a well-written, well-packaged title designed with Tiffany-blue endpages and retro-illustrated chapter openers that reads like an edgy blog. As a busy mother of four, Tana creates easy and healthy meals, along with the goal of expanding readersÖ recipe repertoires and cooking skills, assembling a solid collection of more than 120 recipes ranging from main courses to vegetable sides and desserts. Tana admits to often cooking two dinners, one for children, the other for her spouse. The collection toggles between kid-pleasing selections such as pizza and cupcakes, not to mention vegetable dishes any eight-year-old would approve of, such as Cauliflower Cheese My Way and vitamin-packed selections like frozen fruit, and adult dishes such as mussels with Belgian beer, and simple salmon, dill, and crème fraîche pasta. With a sober awareness of often-strained food budgets for the home cook, and an overall optimism and appreciation for family meals, this contemporary and useful everyday title should push readers to leave any preconceived notions of "Ramsay" behind and crack its spine.
