What the hell is this book about, anyway?

I get it. I keep telling you that this book isn’t your average cookbook but what the hell does that mean, anyway? What is it about? What kind of food will I be cooking?

Keep reading and find out!

Will I still enjoy the book if I don’t have kids?

YES! You do not need to have kids to enjoy the recipes and humour in this book. It’s true that I do mention tiny terrors throughout the book, you will still get a good laugh from the terrible stories from my own childhood. We can all laugh at the struggles of my youth together! But seriously, the recipes are ones that I have been eating my whole life- as a child myself, as a university student and as an adult both with and without kids. Good food is good food. Period.

What if I’m vegan/gluten-free/diabetic etc? Can I still use the book?

While the book isn’t written for specific dietary needs, almost all of the recipes are customizable to suit your needs. I even talk about this in the book! I’m mainly talking about feeding your picky children but you can absolutely sub in vegan butter or gluten-free pasta where you see fit. You’re the boss!

I’m not a great cook, are the recipes difficult?

Not. At. All. Even if you have never cooked a day in your life I guarantee you’ll be able to cook these recipes. And I’m not even talking about the recipes that are “Literally Just Fucking Cereal”. I have written this book like you’re my best friend because of course you are. They are super easy to follow instructions using ingredients you probably have in your cupboard right now. I promise you, you’ve got this.

What kind of food will I be cooking? What are the chapters called?

You will be cooking food that I literally make for my family everyday. If you came over for dinner, these recipes are what I would serve you. It is the food I have been eating/preparing my entire life and I’m so excited to share it with you.

As for the chapter titles, this is where we get a little bit cheeky. Here they are:

Would this book make a good gift?

Holy Smokes, would it ever! In my humble opinion this is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to eat and loves a good laugh. I want whoever is reading the book to be entertained the entire time it’s in their hands. So yes please, spread the book love to everyone you know!

Can I see an example recipe so I know what to expect?

Of course! Below is one of the recipes from the “Breakfast- Shit You Eat In The Morning” chapter. Each recipe is accompanied with a mouth-watering full page image because I don’t know about you but I hate it when I can’t see what the food I’m making is supposed to look like. Don’t worry, I would never do that to you!

I have another question about the book that wasn’t answered here. Can you help me?

I’d love to answer any questions you may have. Just pop over to the Contact page and shoot me a quick message. I can’t wait to hear from you!
