I'm a mom of four, I have two daughters and two step sons, and they're aged 16, 15, 13 and 2, yes I know, what a stretch! I'm blessed with a family that loves to try out new foods and aren't afraid to be experimental in the kitchen, this makes food fun!
I have a new website soon to be online called Naked Food which has free low fat recipes, my diet blog, free videos and my soon to be released DVD, Cookbook and Calendars for sale.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake, but now that I'm on a weight loss mission, I cannot cook the delicious treats that I was making before, however, I have found and created recipes that are low fat and delicious and I'm having a blast experimenting with taking a full fat recipe such as carrot cake, and making it skinny!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love cooking for birthdays and Christmas Dinner, Christmas in New Zealand is during the summer, so we get to feast on fantastic fresh fruit, melons, berries, so divine!
My cooking triumphs
Cooking a dinner party for four people on an extremely tight budget!
My cooking tragedies
I once cooked some chocolate chip cookies when I was 13 years old, the batter was too runny and the cookies spread across the cookie sheet and down onto the bottom of the oven, setting the oven alight! The oven was the old kind with the element visible on the bottom!
