This personal collection of recipes has been inspired by my drive to provide healthy, wholesome meals for my family. It is a collection of dishes from around the world which we enjoy at home.
Some of the dishes were cooked by my mother and grandmother when I was a child. I have modified the recipes to reflect modern lifestyles and my quest for healthy food.
I have tried to do this whilst maintaining the traditional tastes and flavours of a unique collection of family recipes, some of which are little known in the outside world.
This update includes many other recipes which I have learned, and which my family and friends have enjoyed in our home. Some of these are well known international dishes, but I have hopefully provided healthy versions of these recipes without compromising on taste.
