Home for Dinner: Making mealtimes matter
Eating together is good for us but it's not always easy to manage. Australia's first MasterChef shares her smart strategies, time-saving hacks and delicious, low-effort recipes to put the joy back into family dinners.
'Who's home for dinner?'
As the family landscape changes and we're all moving in different directions, dinnertime has become a logistical challenge.
In this book by Australia's most trusted home cook, you'll find ways to:
- Share the physical and mental load of daily dinners
- Streamline all the processes involved in creating the evening meal including shopping, prepping and cleaning
- Take the pain out of the daily decision of what to make
- Turn your house into the ready-meal section of the supermarket but with cheaper and better-tasting food.
Think Spanish Chicken Tray Bake on a busy Monday, Burning Noodles with Prawns in half an hour, build-your-own burger night, or a Veggie Bolognese ready to go when plans change.
Whether you're cooking for one, feeding a crowd or managing something in between, Home for Dinner will help you simplify the process and make space for what matters most: coming together at the end of the day.
