There are no hard-to-get ingredients or impossible techniques, just recipes for tasty, real food to nourish your family and entertain effortlessly.

This book isn't filled with fancy restaurant-style dishes, instead its filled with recipes I cook at home; midweek meals I cook for my family, baking for the girls' lunch boxes and something a bit more impressive for entertaining friends on the weekend.
