Sunshine on a Plate by Shelina Permalloo (Ebury Press, R494)
In this book, Shelina – the 2012 MasterChef UK winner – showcases recipes that
remind her of the people in her life: her mother, brother, sister, husband and late
father. Born to Mauritian immigrant parents in Southampton, England, Shelina
says the cookbook is in response to the many requests from fans on how to cook
the food she prepared on MasterChef. From seafood, meat and vegetables to
rice, noodles and pasta as well as desserts and cold drinks, Shelina honours her
Mauritian heritage and beckons you to share in it, too. Go ahead; grab yourself
a copy of Sunshine on a Plate, invite family and friends over and bring smiles to
their faces this Heritage Day.
