Latest research shows that one in three people don’t get any whole grain in their diet. Whole grains are cereal grains and are extremely important in order to obtain a healthy lifestyle. They provide B vitamins, vitamin E, minerals, carbohydrates and proteins.

One person who knows how important childrens diets are is mum of four Tana Ramsay. Along with husband Gordon Ramsay she has four children Megan, twins Jack and Holly and Matilda.

The Montessori trained teacher turned food writer believes most Mums want to cook healthy food for their children.

She said, “I’m not a chef, I’m just a domestic cook. I’ve never trained as a cook and I’m a Mum and I’m running a house and looking after the kids and I cook out of a want to give my children a very balanced diet to set them up with incredibly good habits for later on in life to maintain their health. That’s what I want to do and I think that’s a position that so many Mums find themselves in and yet they haven’t got the time to sit and devote an entire afternoon to planning supper.”

Many parents find it difficult incorporating foods like whole grains into every day diets but Tana says it couldn’t be easier.

“It’s very simple to incorporate into your everyday life. Start the day with a couple of Shredded Wheat and then that’s your whole recommended daily intake already done. You could switch to using whole grain or brown bread and brown rice, brown pasta. It’s really that easy. For your lunch always choose brown bread for a sandwich or wholemeal pitta bread. If you’re having a pasta salad use some brown pasta in your pasta salad that’s what I do for the children sometimes with their school lunchboxes. There are so many different ways you can fit it in,” she said.

Tana is married to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay but he isn’t the only person in the family who can create great food.

Tana also said: “I’ve actually come up with five recipes to help incorporate the three a day. I’ve done a lemon cheesecake using a cheerio base, I’ve done some stuffed chicken breast stuffed with tomato, mozzarella and basil and I’ve actually used whole grain bread for the breadcrumbs and I’ve crumpled up some Shredded Wheat into the mix and this gives a really nice texture to the outside of the chicken. I’ve done a knickerblocker glory using some of the cereal as well and quite often with the children’s fruit I’ll put in some yoghurt and stir in some oats and honey. Kids love anything crunchy.”

Your package holiday tour of Dubai isn’t complete until you sample one of Gordon Ramsay’s dishes at the Hilton Creek Hotel. Not only can you admire the beauty and sophistication of the hotel itself, but you can enjoy an exquisite meal at the hotel’s restaurant, Verre. This is no ordinary restaurant, its run by the one and only Gordon Ramsay which impresses many people who visit the hotel. Many people who have been to Gordon’s restaurants in London are keen to try out his latest addition in Dubai.

The hot-tempered chef oversees the running of the hotel restaurant which has celebrated much success with its modern European menu. It’s immediately apparent where the hotel restaurant, Verre gets its name from as soon as you walk in the restaurant. Glass walls dominate the room and set the tone for the decor, perhaps making it obvious that Verre is the French word for glass.

Guests can enjoy a mix of the finest produce around the world and signature dishes such as ravioli of lobster. Great food is complimented by fine wines and served by well – trained waiters who deliver the perfect addition to every dish. An outing to Verre while on your package holiday tour in Dubai is perfect whatever the occasion from a romantic meal for two to a unique night out with a group of friends.

Not only has Gordon celebrated success with several other award-winning restaurants in the UK, he won the ‘Chef’s Choice 2005′ award at the What’s On magazine awards 2005. He was voted for by all the Executive Chefs of five star hotels in Dubai, as their favourite restaurant outside that of their own.

Gordon himself chose Dubai because he was offered the chance to open a restaurant with an unlimited budget and therefore felt it was an irresistible challenge. As his first restaurant outside of the UK he felt it would be perfect as he also feels that Dubai is an up and coming, dynamic place.

If you decide to visit Gordon’s restaurant whilst on your package holiday tour of Dubai, don’t be surprised at the small portions. He once famously said, “The essence of my cooking is that is should prepare you to get up and go – not to go to bed for three days afterwards.” Although Verre isn’t booked out yet like his London restaurants, Gordon is confident that it will be just the same with his Dubai restaurant within a few years.
