“ A Tasty Childhood Down Under is aimed at a family-orientated cooking experience,” she said.
“ I want to give kids the opportunity to appreciate good food; I want to compile a book that’ s healthy and exposes them to tastes beyond fast food or the meals we set aside for children.
“ The other one is Cultural Feasts, which I just love. I want to showcase different cultures in this book and the way they celebrate different occasions, with information on what the feast represents in their culture and why they do it- give the background to it and then add some recipes they might cook for that celebration.
“ We live in such a great country to celebrate diversity, to be welcoming and inclusive and to do that with food is just the cherry on the cake!”
