Full of warmth and nostalgia, Rachel Allen's Recipes from My Mother is a book of culinary inspiration passed down through the generations. To celebrate, we're asking you to share your own family recipes.

Rachel’s food is heart-warming. She uses gorgeous ingredients in abundance to create comforting, vibrant meals. Her love of food started when she was very young, sitting in the kitchen with her mother, helping and tasting. Her mother taught her their Scandi family recipes, as well as those she picked up from living in Ireland. Rachel became more and more passionate about food as she grew up, and she drew inspiration from her childhood memories of helping her mother cook and sitting around with her family enjoying delicious meals and treats.

In Recipes from My Mother, Rachel celebrates the food memories of her childhood, alongside those of friends and other members of her family. Packed with much-loved recipes and stunning photography, this is the book to make you fall back in love with cooking.

One of our favourite recipes from the book is the mouth-watering Mother's Plum Shortcake. See how to make it for yourself.

For a chance to win a copy of the cookbook and a £100 Lakeland voucher, just share the recipes that have been passed down to you from your mother or family.

This discussion is sponsored by HarperCollins and will end on midday, 29 March

Chicken Paprika - a classic recipe my mum always made for dinner parties. It can be made ahead of time and the cream added and warmed though before serving

Ingredients

2 onions
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp paprika
½ pint tomato sauce or chicken stock mixed with tomato puree.
3 chicken breasts or a chicken cut into pieces.
1 pint of thick cream, preferably sour
Method

Saute the two sliced onions until soft.
Add the salt, paprika and the tomato sauce (or chicken stock mixed with tomato puree)
Add the chicken.
Cover and cook on a low heat stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked.
Mix in the cream and serve as soon as heated though, make sure it does not boil
