Press Release 3rd November 2004

 

And NUTS to you too!

 

Why is there a nut warning on everything that moves when according to The European Food Information Council, (EUFIC), “Estimates for the prevalence of food allergy are much lower than are perceived by the public  ….. it has been estimated that food allergy occurs on average in about 1-2% of the adult population. The prevalence is higher among young children, with estimates from 3-7%”. ( www.eufic.org/en/quickfacts/food_allergy.htm ).

 

Recipes4us has decided to pander to the remaining 93% of the population by  the recent launch of its first cookery book “This book may contain NUTS”. But don’t be fooled by the nutty title or off-the-wall introduction to this book: this is a SERIOUS cookery book dedicated to one of the oldest foods known to man.

 

It takes both a gastronomic and educational tour of the nut world. As well as 80 scrumptious recipes including soups,  starters, main courses, side dishes, desserts and baked goods, there is information about individual nuts including their origins, general preparation, buying, storing and nutritional values plus some interesting facts which you may not know.  Whether you’re vegetarian or carnivore, you are guaranteed to  find  something to tempt you amidst the selection of recipes, many of which are traditional dishes from the countries in which the nuts grow.

 

The author, Florence Sandeman, has over 35 years of practical cooking experience under her belt and currently owns and maintains one of the largest independent and privately owned cookery websites in the UK www.recipes4us.co.uk.  She has written this book from the perspective of an everyday cook working in an ordinary kitchen rather than a restaurant chef, so you can be sure that every recipe can be faithfully reproduced in your own kitchen, with no need for industrial or special equipment….or a host of staff to do the prep and clearing up after you.

 

Makes a great gift for Christmas or any time!

 

Below is a sample recipe and graphic from the book which we would be more than happy for you to publish in your publication.
