Tessa's colourful family includes a Russian great-grandmother, Finnish mother, Greek Cypriot father and an Italian husband, not to mention a Peruvian housekeeper, all of them passionate cooks. The result is this sumptuous recipe book, with tantalizing snippets of her childhood thrown in. Beautifully illustrated and nostalgically written this may, at £25*, not be something you would buy for yourself but if, like me, you are lucky enough to have a generous daughter-in-law, I strongly recommend it.
*Editor's Note: But Amazon has it for £17.50!
