About Janet

Hi, my name is Janet and I love cooking. This blog is about bringing you some family favourite recipes and trying out some new ones. I will also share with you some stories that relate to the food. The emphasis is on tasty. I don’t follow a particular diet, I just cook what sounds tasty.

I am married with 3 children in their late teens and early twenties and live on a bush block in the Perth hills, Australia. I have been baking since I was quite young, entering cakes in the local show from the age of 9 and cooking family meals since I was 10. My mum always encouraged me to cook and I started cutting recipes out of magazines and making my own cook books from a young age. Over the years I have collected quite a few cook books, bought cooking magazines, watched cooking shows and searched the internet for recipes.

Often I have found that I don’t have all the ingredients for a particular recipe or there is an ingredient I don’t like. Most of our family favourites are recipes I have tweaked and made my own and these are what I will share with you.

I hope you enjoy the recipes as much as we do.
