Cooking with Daisy - Softcover

“This is a wonderful book and one which, despite its unbearably sad origins, is a joy to read and cook from” Nigella Lawson

“An inspiring collection of recipes, like Antony Worrall Thompson's carrot fritters, gooey mozzarella garlic bread, balti chicken and sticky corn on the cob, to cook for and with children” The Independent

The inspiration for this book was a little girl called Daisy who loved her food and was a wonderful little cook. She died suddenly at the age of 18 months and this book, written by her mother, is a tribute to an incredible daughter. All recipes have been donated by parents and the book is full of 130 practical and easy-to-prepare recipes that children will love. They have all been tested by a willing team of 20 mothers and, the most critical audience of all, their children. The author has attracted celebrity support from chefs, food writers and famous parents. Delia Smith, Nigella Lawson, Antony Worrall Thompson, Nigel Slater, Brian Turner, Gary Lineker and Emma Forbes are among the household names that have donated recipes. The book also has the endorsement of the Paediatric Dieticians of St. Mary's Hospital. Every recipe has been scored for its nutritional value and helpful hints are given on how to feed difficult children. Forewords have been written by leading paediatric experts and this will be the children's cookbook recommended by the paediatric team at the hospital. The author and publisher will donate proceeds raised from the sale of the book to The Isabel Medical Charity, which is funding an on-line paediatric diagnostic tool that aims to help doctors diagnose less recognized and rarer conditions as well as common paediatric illnesses. The charity aims to prevent children dying because their condition has been misdiagnosed.
