(21/06/2010)

Juggling a growing family and an ever-busier work life, Tana Ramsay understands the importance of being able to whip up delicious meals quickly and simply. Tana has unveiled her fourth cookery book, titled Tana's Kitchen Secrets. In this stunning new book, Tana's first title published by Mitchell Beazley, she has created 120 irresistible recipes designed to please everyone and has included her own expert tips for how to create each dish perfectly.

In addition to featuring mouth-watering recipes, this beautiful and practical cookbook is interwoven with Tana’s “kitchen secrets”; hints that instruct readers on how to choose and prepare ingredients and cook them well. The secrets cover such wide-ranging topics as what to look for when buying fish, how to make the perfect mash and how to tell if a cake is cooked properly.

As her four children grow older, Tana has developed recipes that are perfect for all ages, and are just as suitable for grown-up suppers and entertaining friends. Divided into chapters on meat, fish, pasta, rice and grains, pies, pastries and tarts, dough, sweet things and cakes and biscuits, the book contains recipes for all occasions; family lunch dishes such as classic ham hock pie and homemade lamb sausages in prosciutto, elegant supper dishes including Moroccan fish tagine and Thai red curry, indulgent desserts such as plum and almond pudding and cherry and chocolate mousse and teatime treats in the form of carrot and raisin cupcakes.

Beautifully illustrated throughout with 200 colour photographs by Laura Hynd, Tana’s Kitchen Secrets is the perfect companion for novice and more experienced cooks alike and is ideally suited to building confidence in the kitchen and bringing out the cook in you.
