Family recipes are as precious

and treasured as photographs

and letters. Though trends have

evolved hugely, even in the

past decade, looking through

a much-used recipe book that’s

been handed down through the

generations gives us a visceral

connection to our ancestors.

In Recipes to Remember,

compiled by Natasha Willmore

and Kelly and Phil James, 60

or so well-known personalities

and friends of Maggie’s cancer

charity discuss the food that

means most to them, before

telling us how to make it. Dr Ranj

Singh, GP, presenter and author,

reveals his mother’s recipe

for masoor dhal, which can,

apparently, “fix everything”; from

former Arsenal and England

Captain Tony Adams, we have

his mum’s Saturday night

speciality – “best-ever toad-in-

the-hole”; from broadcaster

Victoria Derbyshire, Grandma

Helen’s “incredibly comforting”

meat and potato pie; and from

chef Raymond Blanc, Maman

Blanc’s watercress soup. It’s a

feast of recipes you’ll love to try.
