RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi, I live on a dairy farm in a rural part of Victoria, Australia. I have 2 children and a husband who is sympathetic to my continual experimenting in the kitchen!!
I love cookbooks of any description (perhaps obsessively) and try to cook 1 new dish every week.
My other interests are reading and tennis, and I always find myself on some kind of committee - at the moment it is Parents Club at school, and Make A Wish Foundation.
I also love to travel - have been to Europe a couple of times (I have lots of Dutch relations to stay with) and last year went to Vietnam with two girlfriends. My Photo is of myself (on the left) and Sarah making Vietnamese Spring Rolls at a cooking class in Hoi An, Vietnam. We had a great time, and were introduced to some really wonderful food by our Australian tour guide, Anne.
