I live in Adelaide,South Australia,with my wonderful husband,and our two beautiful children.
We are originally from Suffolk in England,but decided that Australia had more to offer us as a family,and catered for the way we like to live our lives,also my parents moved out here 15 years ago,so it was nice to be near them again!
I thank those of you whose recipes I have found and loved;my waistline will never be the same again!!
















I love to eat full stop...its not just about filling your tummy its the whole experience-and as my father was a chef and my mother an exceptional cook,( she makes the BEST Chinese ribs,and her Rendang is legendary,but alas,the recipes will never appear on Zaar!) food is a huge part of my life!!As far as I am concerned there are just not enough mealtimes in this life to eat all of the dishes that I want to try,as well as eat some,more than once!!We love Asian food (my mother is Chinese!),but we eat everything from Italian to Mexican,British to American and anything and everything inbetween.
I prefer to cook from scratch,using fresh produce ( local if possible!),and very rarely use any processed food.
All of my listed recipes have been tried,tested and enjoyed by my family,so I can help anybody who needs help with them!
I would love to write a cookery book,or test recipes for them,and my friends keep encouraging me to do so,but I think thats so that I keep inviting them over to eat!!
I have tried loads of recipes from Zaar,and try to rate them fairly.If I can't give three stars or above I tend not to rate it-I would hate to put anyone off trying it or upset whoever listed it.
Five stars=Great,we really enjoyed it,don't change a thing.
Four stars=Still really enjoyed it,but may tweak it to suit us a little more.
Three stars=It was ok,might tweak it,but wouldn't be in a rush to make it again.
Two stars=Mmm..not very keen at all.Will not cook again.
Meanwhile I just keep cooking and eating!!
