Antony Worrall Thompson - Real Family Food

A dad as well as a cook, Antony Worrall Thompson has developed a wealth of recipes that the whole family will love. Cooking just one good meal for the entire family can seem like an impossible dream, but the great news is that these recipes should appeal to grown-ups and kids alike, are easy to make and many are packed full of healthy ingredients.

Of course, no child will eat the healthiest foods all the time. Home-cooked treats are loved by everyone, so Antony has included lots of recipes for these household favourites in this book. All you need to do to ensure your family eats a healthy diet is follow his simple ‘traffic light’ system: green for dishes you can eat as often as you like, amber for the sort of recipes that should be eaten no more than three times a day and red for dishes that should be enjoyed no more than once a day.

But healthy eating isn’t just about good ingredients – it’s about choosing the right food for the right occasion. That’s why Antony explains, in simple terms, which types of food should be eaten when and gives a clear picture of which are the best foods for slow-burn energy, sport, study or relaxation. There are also lots of tips on how to make learning about food fun for the kids and suggestions for ways to get them to enjoy food shopping and cooking.

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.
