Hiya and welcome to my Chef's Toolbox page.

Who am I and what am I doing here?

Well, I'm a mum to 3 boys, wife to a chef, writer, speaker, author and founder of support website for Aussie mums - Real Mums. I spent 15 years of my life in the fitness industry, ten of those as a perosnal trainer. I studied Health Promotion, majoring in family, society and health, and have a strong foundation in the emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing of our society, and mums in particular.

I am also a lover of scrummy food, coupled with a passion for good eating and health and tossed into a mix of crazy family life, chaos and the realities of being a mum, writer, speaker, entrepreneur, wife, etc etc etc.

Anyhoo, despite the craziness and mayhem of my life I somehow manage to cook a meal for the family every night, using, of course, my Chef's Toolbox products and ingredients that don't come in a pack.

I'm here because I not only love and use the Chef's Toolbox product, but I'm also passionate about showing anyone they can cook, and that it doesn't have to be expensive, gourmet, organic or time consuming, yet can still be tasty, healthy and done in a reasonable amount of time.

My main rule is, if it can be prepared, cooked and on the table before the Simpsons finishes, then I'll cook it!

So far, no one has starved or died!

I'm not about sourcing gourmet or expensive, hard to find products, or shoving the low fat/healthy eating message down your throat (so to speak), just providing you with the tools and skills to cook at home, without the stress and overwhelm.

I figure, if I can do it, anyone can.
