For the past 5 years, Fay Ripley has been cooking for her growing family. Spurred on by the lack of inspiration out there, she has written this cookbook full of recipes for all the family. The vital ingredient is that you only need to cook one meal. She was fed up of having to cook separately for her 1-year-old, then having to knock up something for her 5-year-old and then, with the kids in bed, finally think about cooking something to enjoy with her husband. So she started working out meals that all of them could eat together - not separate ingredients, age dependent. This book offers suggestions and inspiration to feed your family. It's there to get you in the swing so that you can find 15 minutes to knock up something that you're proud to see them eat. The idea is to cook food that you can remove your babies' and kids' portions from, before adding the more challenging ingredients for yourselves. In Fay's words: 'I am living this. It's easy. I've kept it simple. Sometimes I get it wrong. Sometimes I have to throw pans away (multi-tasking can lead to burnt food). But the Italians do it. So why can't we?'

Bestselling author of the ground-breaking book Your Life in Your Hands now brings us The Plant Programme, a collection of recipes to fight breast and prostate cancer. Plant developed breast cancer in 1987 and as a scientist was frustrated by the lack of answers on why cancer develops--and what we can do to cure and prevent it. She discovered one fact that she couldn't ignore--that 1 in 10 women in the UK will develop breast cancer whereas the incidence in China is just 1 in 10 thousand. From this she went on to study the links between lifestyle and diet and made some controversial recommendations--most notably to avoid all kinds of dairy produce and adopt a largely vegan diet.The Plant Programme is a collection of recipes and dietary advice that follows this approach. To start off, the principles behind the diet are re-explained and a shopping list of ingredients is given. The main body of the book contains recipes for everyday eating --including snacks and meals that will suit kids and the rest of the family. Without exception, these are simple, quite quick to prepare and though there are no illustrations, highly appetising. Those cautious about the absence of dairy needn't feel apprehensive--you really don't notice it. Mediterranean and Asian dishes feature prominently, with recipes such as Couscous with Rocket, Chicken and Pine Nuts, Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup or Stir-Fried Cauliflower, Zucchini and Fennel. Even the more virtuous ingredients such as tofu and lentils are made delicious through liberal use of fresh herbs and spices. And the recipes for smoothies, cookies and desserts (such as Orange and Almond Cake) will have the rest of the family keen to tuck in with you. Readers of Your Life in Your Hands will know exactly how exciting Jane Plant's research has been to anyone concerned about cancer. Here though, she and Gill Tidey have scored a major success in translating this scientific knowledge into a collection of easy recipes that can be enjoyed on a daily basis by the whole family. This is a positive and much needed book that will empower all those affected by this cruel disease.--Rachel O'Connor

Unless you are the kind of purist who insists that the only possible salad is a perfect, classically inclined Platonic essence of green salad, then Best-ever Salads may just possibly represent what the title suggests. A collection of more than 200 fresh and summery recipes, it starts with Light & Side Salads, including a pure "Lettuce and Herb Salad", the classic and very correct "Caesar Salad", "Turkish" and "Classic Greek" salads and a wonderfully luxurious "Fresh Ceps Salad", in which the ceps (porcini) and greens are dressed with an egg yolk and walnut oil dressing. Cooked Side Salads include "Rocket and Grilled Goat's Cheese Salad" and the Art-Deco "Russian Salad", as well as simple recipes which rely on utterly perfect ingredients, such as the plain but delicious "Tomato and Bread Salad" and "Grilled Pepper Salad". Main Course Salads kick off with the favourite "Salade Nicoise", in a beautifully rich version (it's one of those dishes which exist in an infinite number of forms), proceeding through an interesting collection of fish dishes to salad versions of "Chicken Maryland" and the New Orleans "Poor Boy" steak sandwich. Special Occasion Salads feature such ceremonial treats as "Thai Scented Fish Salad", "Millionaire's Lobster Salad" and "Genoese Squid Salad"--the last typical of that city's cooking in its inventive combination of fish, potatoes and green beans. The final chapter on Fruit Salads ranges from simple but finely judged recipes such as "Watermelon, Ginger and Grapefruit Salad" to very grown up desserts such as "Tropical Fruit Gratin", a combination of fruits topped with a white-wine sabayon and flashed under the grill. One small warning. The recipe for Coleslaw with Pesto Mayonnaise suggests that bought pesto and mayonnaise will give as good results as home-made. This is simply not true: it will not. Bought mayonnaise is just acceptable but pesto in jars is a travesty. Make your own. It takes three minutes. --Robin Davidson

There are a few "secrets of the trade" in making your own pizza; once you know them, it is not hard to make your own and it takes very little time. In fact, after you make it a few times you'll wonder why I made such a big deal out of it.. Pizza has become an international food since the toppings can be extensively varied to meet local variations in taste. These pizzas consist of the same basic design but include an exceptionally diverse choice of ingredients, such as anchovies, egg, pineapple, grilled lamb, coconut, sauerkraut, eggplant, lamb, couscous, chicken, fish, and shellfish, meats done in ethnic styles such as Moroccan lamb, kebab or even chicken tikka masala, and non-traditional spices such as curry and Thai sweet chili. Pizzas can also be made without meat for vegetarians, and without cheese for vegans. Breakfast pizzas are topped with ingredients such as scrambled eggs. There are loads of Pizza Recipes to choose from. Find Pizza dough recipes and Pizza sauce recipes, as well as pizza for everyone's taste. There is Vegetarian Pizza recipes, Mexican Pizza, California Pizza, Cheese Pizza, Mushroom Pizza, Ham and Pineapple Pizza, and Dessert Pizza, too. There is even a special Diabetic recipe for Pizza. There is Hot Pizza's and Cold Pizza's, lots of Pizza's!! In fact loads of recipes all on one CD. Take-out and frozen pizza are acceptable quickie dinners when you are up against the clock, but why relegate pizza as a desperation meal? Making your own at home is really not that difficult or time-consuming. With a bit of careful planning of toppings, you also have a balanced meal all in one simple package. Luckily, most kids adore pizza, so you can enlist your children in the process. Learn about the background of pizza before delving into the pizza recipes. Give us the word! Let us get started and get you learning more about the above item right now, and as always we will even throw in a few more books on the subject free of charge.
