Book Description
It is always interesting to take a peek into celebrities lives. From Number 10s kitchen comes a timesaving, all-in-one cake recipe, Paul Daniels offers a magic jelly and Joan Collins a recipe for Pasta Primavera. These are just some of the favourite recipes donated by celebrities for the "You Are What You Are Cookbook" which is raising funds to help disabled adults live independently. Jasper Carrot has offered a "Carrot Curry" and Victoria Woods a Victoria sponge. Some recipes are virtuous like Robert Powells Vitality Cocktail while others reveal an indulgent sweet tooth. Cliff Richards Transkei Mud pudding involves cream, condensed milk, biscuits and chocolate. The idea for the recipe book came from Beds Garden Carers, learning disabled fundraiser Tim Branson. Tim, who has won a national award for his work, wrote to hundreds of celebrities in the UK last year. In total 83 celebrities replied with some of their favourite recipes. Tims willingness to write to everyone, including George Lucas, with the words "America" written underneath (it reached him and he replied) and even the Pope, (although he was unable to send a recipe he did send his blessings), means this book is a unique collection of celebrities favourite recipes.
