Recollections of some of our best known celebrities as they share the recipes they learned at their mother's knee.

At My Mother's Knee is a patchwork of memories about food. This delightful new book features celebrities in the kitchen with their mums. Throughout its pages, some of our best- known celebrities reminisce about time spent in the kitchen and meals shared with their mums. The book celebrates the tradition of family recipes passed on through the generations that hold a special place in our hearts.

Margaret Fulton, our very first foodie, shares her mother's recipe for Dundee Cake which has now passed on to the third generation of cooks, her daughter Suzanne Gibbs. Dr Chris, from Bondi Vet, and his mother share their love of a barbecue lunch, Chrissie Swan talks about family meals in the 70s and recalls her mum's steamed pudding. Anthony Field, the Blue Wiggle, enchants us with tales of his mum's legendary meat pies and Tetsuya reminisces about his Japanese childhood and its influence on his food, Lisa Wilkinson shares her favourite no-fuss family meal. Everyone has a moment, a recipe and a memory to share.

Including recipes and memories from Margaret Fulton, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Pamela Clark, Les Murray, Lyndey Milan, Tracey Spicer, Isabella & Sofia Bliss, Adriano Zumbo, Mary Coustas, Manu Feildel, Tetsuya Wakuda, Marion Grasby, Poh Ling Yeow, Lisa Wilkinson, Chrissie Swan, Ben O'Donoghue, Pete Evans ... and their mums and kids.
