About

My name is Dan, I'm a wife, a mother of two and an avid home cook. From a young age I learned to cook by watching my Mum busily prepare and cook home made meals everyday for our family of seven! It was tough times growing up in the 80's and 90's, and feeding a large family required planning and lots of batch cooking!

We had a vegetable garden that supplemented our grocery shop, and whilst it saved the family money harvesting fruit and vegetables from our backyard, it was also so much better for our health to eat fresh seasonal produce.

I didn't realise back then that it was a lesson for me to teach my own children one day. Cook at home from scratch as much as possible, and grow your own fruit and vegetables as much as you can. Here I am sharing our adventures and experimenting with seasonal home cooking and growing our own produce.

I hope our little adventure inspires you to do the same.
