In Rachel's Favourite Food At Home, the cookbook to accompany the TV series, Rachel once again offers the delicious and easy-to-follow recipes for which she is so well-known.

Family-orientated recipes rule this latest collection, with chapters including, Easy Family Food, Food for Children, Extended Family, and Just Like Mum Used to Make. This makes it a great book to call on for everyday recipes like Tomato Ketchup, Smoothies and Classic Spaghetti.

Yet within the family focus, Rachel still manages to incorporate international flavours, such as Scrambled Eggs with Tomato Chilli and Coriander, Potato, Chorizo and Feta Frittata, and Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Lemon and Pomegranate Couscous.

There's an entire chapter devoted to edible gifts, which adds a valuable practical angle. Among them find Dark Chocolate and Stem Ginger Biscuits and Orange, and Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit Marmalade - perfect for Christmas presents.

Rachel keeps the book personal throughout, using both photos and antidotes of her children. To boot, the likes of White Soda Scones and Porter Cake remind us of Rachel's Irish roots, and her love of her country's traditional food.
