Weeknight Wonders

These recipes have saved my life and will hopefully save yours; getting nutritious and delicious food on the table without relying on take-away.

Lunch Boxes
When my daughter Harriet first started pre-school, so did my lunchbox duty. I can’t say I was thrilled with the thought. The task of making lunches that are healthy, exciting and delicious is no easy feat and in this episode I show a few recipes that you can batch cook and keep in rotation to lighten the load of morning time.
Episode 5
Entertaining
I don’t entertain as much as I like I can’t help but go all out, creating too much work for myself and reaching the point of exhaustion before the guests have even arrived. Having friends over shouldn’t be a chore and in this episode we take the burden out of entertaining with recipes your friends will love.

Indulgence
Anybody that’s tried dieting knows how easy it is to fall off the wagon. But my philosophy is to not cut it out altogether but enjoy a new moderation which includes traditionally indulgent recipes turned into something that aren’t too bad for you at all. Some new guilty pleasures, minus the guilt!

Quick Cool Fix
When it heats up in Australia, everyone is looking for that quick cool fix. Some of us head to the local pool or play under the sprinkler and others find salvation in the shade of a good tree. What most people don’t know is that food can also be cooling and these recipes will do just the trick to keeping you cool in summer
Episode 9
Comfort Food
Comfort food reminds me of my childhood, it’s food that always makes me feel warm and happy, but more often than not it’s 50 shades of brown. Just because we’re eating less meat and dairy, doesn’t mean the food is any less comforting. These recipes will be your new go-to, next time you want to put your feet up, get comfortable and indulge.
Episode 10
Friday Nights
Friday nights are my favourite! There’s nothing better than getting to the end of a busy week than to unwind and indulge in some Friday night fun food. With my healthy spins on some cheeky snacks, movie night will never be the same!
Episode 11
Childhood Favs
Food memories are so much more than what was on your plate at mealtimes. The best part of the day for me was when we would all sit around the table at dinnertime and eat together as a family. I’ve created these healthy recipes to give my kids the best possible rendition of what were my favourite dishes, in the hope that that’s what they’ll crave in their adult lives.

Superfoods
There are certain foods that have been dubbed as “Superfoods”, but when you push the marketing jargon to one side, you’ll find that many, many ingredients are in fact superfoods, like paté! In this episode I’ll make up some recipes with cooler ingredients too so don’t turn away if you’re not a fan of liver, there’s something for everyone!
Episode 14
Weekend Vibes
By the time Monday rolls around, I’ve already started daydreaming about what I’m going to cook the next weekend. I love trying out new things and taking my time, but also these recipes can also be batch-cooked so I have more time to treasure with my kids.
Episode 15
Party Food
When it comes to kids’ party food, why do we feel the need to serve up frozen party pies and sausages or the general sugary junk? It’s OK on occasion, but what about when you’ve got a classmate’s party every other weekend? In this episode I tweak some party classics that will fly off the platters in no time.
Episode 16

Global Flavours
My favourite part of travelling is experiencing the amazing array of flavours from around the world.

Slow Sundays
Sunday has to be my favourite day of the week. All the chores are done and the world slows down a little so I can spend some time doing the things I love. Sundays are also about spending quality time together and these meals will bring the whole family to the dinner table and keep them there.
