Sophie Gray knows all about trying to feed a household full of fussy and hollow-legged kids on a grocery budget of $100 per week — it can be done.
Her background in restaurant cooking has been useful in enabling her to create great-tasting, terrific-looking, healthy food from inexpensive ingredients and Sophie’s only too keen to pass on the tricks and tips she’s learnt along the way. In addition to her successful cookbooks, Sophie has demonstrated techniques to and shared recipes with community groups in halls and homes all over the country.
Her new book, Enjoy!, in-store from 20 April, is packed with delicious recipes that are easy to make for everyday meals as well as celebrations.
Sophie knows home cooking is a real challenge: making something delicious out of what you have to hand, and doing it again tomorrow and the next day and the next, 365 days a year. Add to that the need to cater for individual tastes and specific dietary needs - all within a budget.
However, Enjoy! proves it can be easy and delicious - her mouth-watering categories are Mainstays; Comfort food; Pizza, pasta and risotto; Fresh, fast and fantastic; Desserts; Celebrations; baking; Sweet Dreams; and Basics.
Food allergies are a major consideration for many preparing meals and Sophie gives gluten-free and allergy-free alternatives for many of these recipes.
