Find all your favourite classics but with a twist, think one-pan undone lasagne, crunchy chipotle chicken traybake and harissa spiced beef flatbreads.
“Everyone wants dinner on the table, fresh ingredients, mixed simply that looks like a restaurant meal,” Donna tells Best Picks.
As a busy mum-of-two, Donna understands that it can be tricky to find time to cook easy and delicious meals.
That’s why the first chapter of her new cookbook is entitled, “Faster than takeaway meals”, and she says busy people are at the forefront of her mind when writing her recipes.
Some of Donna’s toss-together dinners include clever spins on recipes for your air fryer, including the perfect crispy buttermilk chicken and sticky pork belly that is super tasty and big on golden crunch.
The Aussie cooking icon says that she’s also aware that when it comes to the current cost-of-living crisis, that it’s important to shop seasonally as it is much cheaper.
Donna Hay’s Too Easy Cookbook is currently on sale on Amazon Australia for $29.
I was lucky enough to try Donna’s Lemon Pesto Spaghetti that she cooked for me and let me tell you, it was sublime.
The recipe is in the cookbook, is super easy and will become a staple dinner in my household.
If you prefer a sweet treat, Donna has plenty of decadent desserts and baked goods that can be whipped up quickly.
