TANA Ramsay, the wife of celebrity chef Gordon, is hoping to steal some of the limelight from her famous husband with the launch of vegetable ice cream recipes.

The “ice greens”, which come in broccoli, carrot, pea, lettuce, yellow pepper and tomato flavours have been designed to tempt youngsters to eat more healthily.

The recipes combine the produce with savoury flavourings and cheeses such as mascarpone and ricotta.

Ramsay, who has four children aged between three and eight, said she concocted the unusual recipes to make vegetables more appetising.

She said: "Child obesity is a huge problem today and one of the best ways to counter this is to make vegetables more attractive to kids."
