The Sunday Times Bestseller

‘Phil Vickery is not only a talented chef, but something rarer still, a sensible and sensitive one.’ – The Independent

Save Money Good DietThe book features 70 easy and affordable recipes, including healthy versions of the country’s top 10 dishes, including fish and chips, spaghetti bolognese and chicken tikka masala.

This is the perfect book for me as although I will never compromise on the flavour, and I will always look for ways to save money and make cooking easier. I don’t view it as a ‘diet’ book but one that lets you cook and enjoy food with a nod to being healthier and prudent.

book Essential Gluten-Free

Since Phil Vickery published his first gluten-free book in 2009, the number of people opting to go gluten-free has risen dramatically – 13% of the UK population now say they avoid gluten; in Finland, the number of coeliacs has more than doubled in 20 years, and in Italy, it has doubled since 2007. A notoriously restrictive diet, it can seem the end of exciting food, but Phil uses his Michelin-starred cooking talents and simple, honest ingredients to create dishes that everyone in the family can eat – including the pizza, bread, pasta, cakes and biscuits that you thought you would never enjoy again. The 175 delicious recipes take their inspiration from cuisines worldwide and range from Lasagnette with Asparagus and Tomatoes to Easy Pad Thai Noodles and American-style Pancakes with Pears and Almonds.

book Gluten-Free Cooking for Kids

The symptoms of coeliac disease in children typically appear three to five months after first consuming gluten-containing foods. Symptoms may include poor appetite, irritability, vomiting and diarrhoea. If left untreated, coeliac disease can lead to malnutrition, osteoporosis and, particularly worrying in children, stunted growth and development. It is therefore important to introduce a gluten-free diet to your child as soon as they’re diagnosed. With 70 scrumptious dishes suitable for children of all ages – from babies to toddlers to school-age kids. Baby recipes include Potato Moussaka and Pink Poached Salmon, while toddlers will smile when fed Minty Peas with Lamb or Lemon Chicken, Sweetcorn and Tarragon. One of the hardest parts of cooking for children on a gluten-free diet can be the pressure to prepare a healthy lunch that is just like everyone else’s.
