Synopses & Reviews
Jane Kennedy is the author of two previous cookbooks (Fabulous Food Minus the Boombah, OMG! I Can Eat That?) primarily focused on healthy eating for the family. She is an actress, comedian, radio presenter, and television producer best known for her work with Working Dog Productions—an iconic Australian group of performers responsible for a variety of television and films such as The Dish and the film recently voted Australias favorite of all time, The Castle. Clearly taking her commitment to comedy too far, she and partner Rob Sitch have five children.
Synopsis
Feeding a family. Every night. Is hard. Jane Kennedy knows because she cooks for seven people, seven days a week. It's not the cooking that's hard, it's thinking of a new dinner ideas EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
Grownups are easy. They love spices and chilli and garlic and onions and herbs and zest and can dress up a boring piece of chicken, fish or steak in a flash. Kids...well. Most kids also don't like spices and chilli and herbs and zest. Green bits. Orange bits. And especially not hot bits.
So Jane set herself a challenge to find a way to keep everyone happy. A way that wouldn't involve her having to eat 'plain' food just to keep the kids happy and didn't require the kids to miraculously start loving 'spicy' food. A way where one base meal could be jazzed up, or down, to suit all taste buds. One dish; two ways.
