My aim in this book is to help you to enjoy cooking to minimize stress levels to show how simple meals are possible & to inspire you to cook from fresh ingredients. Sometimes we can get into the rut of cooking the same things over & over or reaching for the ready-made meals. This book is full of fresh new ideas all of which are easily attainable. For those of you with younger children there are some tips on getting them to eat & not getting stressed when they don't! Also simple snacks for kids & kids' parties. There are recipes designed to encourage your children into the kitchen & for when the funds are low. All are designed with busy lives in mind.
