Welcome!

Hello, and thank you for reading my blog! I am about to embark on a cooking adventure - working my way through Donna Hay's newest cookbook, Fast, Fresh, Simple. I decided to try this because I noticed I was cooking the same things over and over, and not being very adventurous. This cookbook seemed like the perfect way for me to attempt new dishes, whilst being able to use everyday fresh or packaged ingredients that I can find at the supermarket. And also, having two young boys, I wanted recipes that are quick and uncomplicated - at the end of the day I don't have a lot of time to be fiddling about and fussing over dinner.

I have been watching the series airing on Foxtel's Lifestyle Food channel, and true to Donna Hay's style, she makes everything look so easy and I am hoping for the same experience! I have already tried a few of the recipes from the cookbook, inspired by the TV series. All have been a success, and while my plating skills are nowhere near as good, I am hoping that over the course of this experiment it will improve! And I am hoping that I will also find some new staple recipes that the whole family will love, and have fun along the way!

So as Donna would say, what could be better than that?
