If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get into the kitchen and explore your cooking skills, what better way to start than with the fantastic Celebrity Pasta Dishes Cookbook. Great Ormond Street Hospital has teamed up with ASK restaurants to produce a delicious book of pasta recipes which you can enjoy while helping the children we treat at the Hospital.

If you’re a fan of classic Italian cooking, then this book is the one for you. Stars including delectable Dames Judi Dench and Vivienne Westwood and Hospital patrons Vernon Kay and Tess Daly have contributed their favourite pasta recipe. So whether you like tortellini or tagliatelle, lasagne or linguini, we’re sure you’ll find one of the forty recipes is perfect for you.  When you buy the cookbook, you’ll also be feeding a good cause at the same time, as £4 from the £5 books goes straight to the Hospital. The recipe books are exclusively available at ASK restaurants, find your nearest one here.

Since the beginning of the campaign, 40,000 cookbooks have been sold and the partnership has raised an amazing £175,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The original target, which aimed to raise funds for a new ward kitchen on Cardiac has been smashed, so now the partnership is hoping to raise the £250,000 needed to fund a brand new recreation and dining room for patients and their families. This is an important part of our major redevelopment project which is underway at the Hospital.

So, if you want to eat good food and do good things in 2011, pick up your copy today!
