Peppered with childhood recollections of food from the authors own upbringing on the Rock, this assortment of dishes caters for a variety of tastes and comes from a personal experience of family meals cooked in a loving home.As such it elicits perhaps the best response hoped for from a reader of a cookbook - a feeling of hunger and a keenness to try out each recipe from the book for themselves.
