Caribbean

by The Australian Women's Weekly and Susan Tomnay

Published 1 September 2009
The range of flavours across the Caribbean makes it impossible to summarise all the influences - the exotic and aromatic fruits and spices; gloriously fresh fish; and the marinades and salsas to accompany them. For your very own Creole and Cajun feast, get out your pans and get cooking.

Apart from the wonderful Irish Stew, there are lots of great dishes cooked throughout Ireland - seasonal vegetables, grown locally to make great soups and baked dishes. This book contains chapters on meat dishes, vegetables, fish, and breads and muffins.

This book features great food that kids can make and enjoy. Teaching kids to cook has many advantages: it teaches the benefits of eating fresh, healthy food; it's a wonderful outlet for their creativity; they'll learn how to appreciate good food at an early age; can be less likely to suffer from obesity; and you get to have a break when the kids are cooking dinner. These recipes are for the kinds of food that kids like to eat, pizzas and burgers included, but these are healthy pizzas and burgers, made with good fresh ingredients that taste much better than the takeaway variety. Once your kids have started using this book, it will be hard to drag them away from the kitchen.

Chocolate

by Susan Tomnay

Published February 2006

Contains icecreams, icelollies, granitas, sorbets and frozen yogurts. This title includes simple desserts served just as they are, some that come with sauces, and some are made into icecream sandwiches.

Curries and casseroles are two popular staples that give the tastebuds a lift. This book is a mixture of the traditional and the modern. It includes recipes from India, Thailand, as well as from Italy and North Africa.

Mediterranean influences are well known in Spanish cooking. The use of shellfish and seafood, aromatic herbs and an interesting mix of spices is paramount. Add Arab culinary influences and ingredients introduced from the Americas (sweet peppers, chillies and tomatoes) and you have a fascinating mix that results in a robust cuisine that is easy to replicate in the home kitchen, as this compilation of recipes proves.
