Hot on the heels of
Margaret Hirsch’s popular Vegetarian Cook Book, is Luci Hirsch Jackson’s
cleverly put together “Mum’s On The Run” a recipe book for busy mothers and
wives.
Luci, the mother
of Declan (4) and Connor (3), has concentrated on meals that are
quick, easy and nutritious - highlighting the nutritional aspects
of certain key ingredients in most recipes. Who knew, for instance that
the Brinjal contains a good portion of essential B-complex vitamins? This
is mentioned in the recipe of the beautifully illustrated Mediterranean
Mezza Roll-ups. She has also given tips and advice on microwave and
combination cooking – the way to go for busy Mum’s.
The Dessert section in
the book contains some of the most exciting, deliciously appetizing
recipes! The mini Pavlova meringues are a sure winner – colourfully
ornamental and packed with healthy things like blueberries, strawberries and
flavoured yoghurt.
While compiling this
easy to follow well illustrated cook book, Luci had the help of Cheryl Aitken,
a registered dietician, who gave her dietary advice on each recipe. She
also had the help of the very knowledgeable Vanessa de Beer, who runs a
catering business in Portugal and who helped put together the At Home With
Hirsch’s recipe book and Margaret’s Living The Vegetarian Life Cook book.
Mums-on-the-run is
available from all Hirsch stores and retails at R199.99.
