"Fab Food for Family & Friends" blends the essentials – how to bake the best meatloaf, make a lump-free gravy and roast the crunchiest potatoes you have ever eaten  – with timeless classics that deserve to be resurrected – Steak Diane, crumbed lamb cutlets and baked custard that just dissolves in your mouth  – and introduces new JB (that’s me) food, like fig & macadamia glazed ham, snapper with radish and pear salad, and Toblerone baked cheesecake.

I have filled this book with recipes you will feel comfortable and confident cooking, and which are perfect for feeding the people you love. On each recipe page you’ll find one of my trademark tips and techniques that make my recipes foolproof.

Luciano Pavarotti, a man who knew how to live life to the full, once wrote "One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating". It’s one of my favourite quotes and a sentiment that has inspired me in the writing of Fab Food. 

I hope you enjoy all it has to offer, as much as I've enjoyed making it... cheers Janelle.
