I am a
huge fan of Donna Hay. I have the majority of her books, I always buy
her magazine and quite often you can find me looking on her website
as well. But it occurred to me that maybe I am just a fan of her
simple, clean style and amazing, drool-worthy photographs since I
rarely (and I mean rarely!) have cooked from her books. I have no
idea why not, especially when I spend so much time staring at the
beautifully photographed pictures, so I decided it was time to remedy
that and finally put one of her books to the test. In the end I
picked the latest book of hers that I have which is Simple Dinners. I picked this book for a couple of reasons (and not just
because it's the most recent one to add to my collection) as having
just started working part time and my husband away a lot I need easy
meals that are quick to prepare, will be liked by whoever is eating
them and also don't cost a fortune to make by requiring expensive
ingredients. This book seemed like a good fit.
The
book has 13 chapters devoted to recipes and are divided up by
ingredients which I happen to like. Included within those chapters
are 'Eggs', 'Noodles & Rice', 'Chicken', 'Fish & Seafood' and
'Chocolate'. I tested 4 recipes from this book with many more
bookmarked for future meals.
