My name is Amanda and I am mum to 3 kids and author of a cookbook called ‘Food before 5’.
‘Food before 5’ is a cookbook with 85 recipes that are easy, affordable and realistic for any home cook. It includes lunch boxes, starters & sides, main meals and desserts that can all be made ahead of time so you don’t have to cook during the 5pm rush hour.
It is the perfect tool for the busy family dealing with after school sports, homework and toddlers who need LOTS of attention at that time of day. Trust me… this book WILL help you in the kitchen.
‘Food before 5’ is only $19.95 (free post) and available from www.foodbefore5.com.au. Please also check out my facebook page www.Facebook.com/foodbefore5.
