That Other Day Lewis

Mention the last name Day-Lewis and it'll conjure up pictures of the great actor Daniel. However there is also a great cook with the same last name, his sister Tamasin. Tamasin Day Lewis is one fo the three top chefs in England(the others being Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson). She 's already big time in Britain. Day Lewis soon be as much of a celebrity as her brother is here in the States.

Day-Lewis started off as an actor however went over to her love , cooking. She, like Oliver and Lawson. believe that people should eat fresh cooked meals with fresh ingredients. Day Lewis does not like or use preservatives in her cooking and forget about takeout. That's an absolute taboo in her book. It seems like she firmly believe in healthy living and locavore dining. This philosophy is reflected in her recipes whether it's her roasted beet soup or her saffron chicken (this last looks intriguing).

As any Day Lewis (her father was the poet laureate of England , Cecil Day Lewis) she has a large body of work. She has eleven cook books under her belt, with the last. Singing For Supper published in Britain last October and now will be available here in the States. She also includes her Irish heritage (the Day-Lewises are from Laois County in western Ireland.)along with country style recipes. If you can't get her books then see her videos on the Food Channel UK site.

Mention the name Day Lewis and people will associate it quality. However to film buffs it means the great actor , Daniel, to foodies around the world it means Tamasin and her practical and healthy approach to cooking. She is the star of the family with her inspirational attitude and recipes.
