Welcome to my site, there's plenty to see while you're here!

Happy 2010! If you are like me, the first few months of the year are spent trying to get back into routine after an over-indulged, festive season (one I love, as I get time with family & friends). With Australia Day ahead, I have some great new barbecue recipes for you... check them out on my RECIPE page!  

Even more exciting is my latest love... my new book!

My gorgeous new cookbook Fab Food for Family & Friends was released on the 1st of November and is selling very well, thanks for your support. For a sneak peek at what's inside, go to COOKBOOKS. I have had some great reviews, the following is one of my favourites (thanks to Monique and the Sound Telegraph for allowing me to post this review)...

I was asked to be an ambassadore for a wonderful new cause called Dogtober (how cute is that name?). Dogtober is the new fundraising and awareness month for Assistance Dogs Australia to be held annually in October.

Assistance Dogs Australia trains Labradors and Golden Retrievers to help people living with physical disabilities.  Our dogs, after the two years it takes to train, end up undertaking tasks that may be difficult, if not impossible, for someone in a wheelchair to undertake – tasks such as opening and closing doors, answering the telephone, pressing the button to cross the road, retrieving dropped items such as keys, mobile phones and wallet and even getting bottles of water from the fridge!

Assistance Dogs Australia is a charity which places dogs with adults and children all over Australia.  Each fully trained dog costs the organization over $25,000 each but are placed with their recipient free of charge.

I hope you get involved, to find out more or see some of my doggie recipes, visit www.dogtober.org.au, or phone Assistance Dogs Australia on 1800 688 364.

My television fun-with-food continues outside of Ready Steady Cook,

with a recent visit on The Morning Show with Kylie and Larry...

Food is my passion, but my "breath-of-fresh-air" has always been spending time with genuine people. I've discovered another pocket of people who have touched my heart. Click HERE and read all about it.

Spend some time exploring the NEWS pages, where you'll find the latest info on my media and volunteer commitments (and a few personal pics). The PORTFOLIO pages will visually tease you, and gives you the chance to see my skills as a Stylist. Then my RECIPES pages will feed your creative culinary cravings! I'll regularly update these recipes, so keep checking back for more. The recipes are all from my books- which you'll learn more about in the COOKBOOK page. I'm very excited and proud to offer you the recipes of a lifetimes work. The BIO pages will give you more insight into my professional background, and you can get in touch through the CONTACT page.  

Cheers,

Janelle
