about me

Time - NSW, Australia           Current - Zaar Time





I've always loved cooking and am especially interested in gluten-free/ wheat-free recipes.

I'm married with a great husband and two beautiful daughters (age almost 13 & almost 6) and live in a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
Nadene and Holly love to help with the cooking whenever possible. My eldest daughter is hoping to be able to cook a meal for us soon without any help. My husband Phil usually does the dishes...he doesn't mind though as he loves doing the taste testing as well! When friends ask if we have a dishwasher, he jokingly answers "It's a Phillips". :lol:
We are currently in the process of building a new home.............looks like we will be getting a dishwasher in my new kitchen!

Here's a photo of my family -daughters Nadene and Holly, my husband Phil and myself with our newborn niece/cousin Erin Rose. (July 2007)

We have 2 cats and a maltese dog. My husband has an aviary and breeds and shows budgerigars. I think we've had almost 100 birds at one point. The girls love watching the babies hatch and grow. I'm sure that we should live on a farm - my husband would love to return to living on a property one day.....he's always looking.

Over the last few years I have been diagnosed with numerous food allergies and health issues. The main challenge has been to wheat and lactose intolerances. I am currently trying to convert my "regular" recipes to gluten free versions or to make notes on them to state what to do to make them gluten free.

I've experimented a lot with gluten free cooking and ingredient substitutions ...... it's lucky I enjoy cooking! My husband and kids are great....they will try anything once!

Favorite Foods:

My favourite foods are Vegetarian, chicken, fish and rice dishes. Of course these are all now gluten free!

My family all enjoy wheat and meat dishes still.
I love baking cakes and sweets. I usually make them when I feel like cooking. Meal times are generally when I feel that I need to cook.
