This was first given to me by a Chef at Mother’s Group, back in 2006. I have made this countless times for family and friends and is one many have asked me for the recipe of. If you like prawns, you will LOVE this recipe, and if you are making it as a main for guests, don’t forget a smatter of fresh lemon zest and a scatter of continental parsley.

This is a dish my 17-year old son suggested I share on this podcast as an easy, faster variation to the ever-popular potato bake. Loaded with sour cream, garlic and cheese this creamy potato recipe is an utterly delicious way to bake potatoes. Just remember to choose starchy potatoes like Russets, Sebagos, Yukon Golds, or King Edwards, as their higher starch content breaks down to create a creamy, thick sauce and soft texture.
THANK YOU Mum who first made this recipe for me more than 40-years ago. I just love the chewy sweetness of the dates in these scones – the ginger ale is optional, you could use soda water, mineral water, lemonade (anything carbonated really) but I love the subtle flavour ginger ale shares with the scone.

This is the very first recipe I ever cooked on Channel 7’s Sunrise way back in 2007. It really is one of the founding recipes from our first ever cookbook called – 4 Ingredients – that Australia and New Zealand fell in love with. It’s a love affair that has lasted for almost 2 decades!

Who doesn’t love a quick pasta dish? With big, strong boys in my life – my pantry always contained a bag of pasta as you could buy it anywhere for as little as $1. Pasta is quick, easy and economical. It is versatile, you can flavour with whatever veggies, herbs or sauces you have. Try this but customise to suit you and your family. Use whatever ingredients you have.

The word ‘Nachos’ comes from the nickname of its inventor, Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Anaya, a restaurateur in Piedras Negras, Mexico, who created the dish in 1943 for American military wives. ‘Nacho’ is a common Spanish nickname for Ignacio, and the original dish, ‘Nacho's Especiales’ was later shortened to ‘Nachos’. All I have to say is ‘MUCHAS GRACIAS Ignacio!&rdqu...
Here is a really easy snack that can be made with bread and sausages and is incredibly popular with kids and men. I often make this when I have leftover sausages from a weekend BBQ or fundraiser, serve with your kid’s favourite sauce or cut in half for a satisfying lunchbox filler.

Satay pizza is a fusion pizza featuring a savoury peanut-based satay sauce instead of traditional tomato sauce. This pizza is typically topped with chicken and vegetables like capsicum, onion, and corn and finished with fresh garnishes such as cucumber, carrots, coriander, or peanuts. This is one the men in my life absolutely LOVE!

Honestly – why pay $15 for this at a café (if you’re lucky, often it’s more) when you can make it at home for a fraction of the price? Don’t forget to add a variety of salad and veggies to your wrap to help achieve the recommended 5 serves of veggies every single day.

This is a yummy, crispy dessert that was SUPER POPULAR in the 1990s right alongside the Spice Girls and Navana! Bought originally to make Changs Crispy Noodle Salad I actually noticed this recipe on the back of the packet. 3 simple ingredients is all you need. Change up the chocolate for colour and flavour variations and ENJOY!

Talk about nostalgic foods ~ Anyone born in the 70s and 80s knows of, and loves, this recipe and those born later should know of this recipe (haha!) It uses small cocktail frankfurters, held together with cheese and tommy sauce all encased in a strip of bread, baked to golden glory.

1 dish + 4 ingredients = MAGIC! The combination of these ingredients results in a really nice casserole. Simply add some veggies to it (broccoli, onions, spinach among my favourites) for added nutrition and to extend the volume the dish makes.
