I am indebted to my wife Malini for inspiring me to publish this Recipe book on behalf of the well deserving charities in the UK and Sri Lanka, who are in a dire situation due to the pandemic.
I am much obliged to my colleagues David, Mike and Bob for their willingness to support us at very short notice.
Last and certainly not the least a thank you to Bill Burns, a colleague, who now is a Trustee of Cancer Research UK, for lifting our morale in this pursuit.

A Special Thank You to our Printer
Royal Warrant Holder By Appointment To Her Majesty The Queen
We are indebted to our Printer for the book and the kindness, understanding and efficiency shown by Alan Watt and Robbie Patterson.
We embarked on this task of publishing a book, not knowing the size of the problem.
On meeting Alan and Robbie our fears were allayed. From that day they guided us, helping us to complete the book.
The finished product far exceeds our expectations.
We got accustomed to living in hope and wishful thinking since 20th July, when we visited Bissetts and saw Alan and Robbie face to face. That feeling has left us since our hopes have come to fruition. Now there is something missing in our lives. Anticipation is absent. No going to check emails for news of book any more.
It looks as though we are driven to print a second edition to keep our anticipation alive.
Alan and Robbie have been patient and understanding at each time we needed help. We thank them for assisting us to fulfil our last desire.

Food for Thought:
Where do our Ingredients come from?
The human body is created to work like a machine. It requires power to run. The source of this power is nourishment. Extraordinarily, nourishment requires only a few ingredients to provide energy. Extraordinarily, too, these ingredients are freely available in the environment around us. In truth, all living things too need food.
Plants manufacture their food from elements on earth. Most animals are nourished by plants. Human beings are nourished by plants and animals. Extraordinarily it happens that the least evolved provide nourishment for the more evolved. However, have we ever stopped to think where our ingredients actually come from?
We are all created by God, and our Creator has provided food for all His creatures. Uniquely, we, Homo sapiens have greatly developed brains, but struggle to manufacture basic elements and ingredients for our nourishment.
The recipes contained in our book are made from ingredients that have been created for us. They will make for us tasty and nourishing food.
