Phil’s Biography

The Sunday Times Bestseller

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

The 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.

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.
