My name is Anna and I am passionate about produce and cooking with fresh and healthy ingredients. I am a working mum of two fabulous teens and I dream of a future without obesity where more of us cook fresh and healthy meals. The word eggplant makes me happy.
I try and run....
My 16 year old daughter and I took up running earlier this year to improve our shape and get in shape..we are both lovely pear shaped women and whilst we love our curves we want to be strong and healthy too.
We are not natural runners but we have stuck at it and try to run 3 - 4 times a week. In March this year when my younger brother died very unexpectedly at the age of 42 we discovered that you can run through grief...more about that on my blog.

I cook and I share.
I cook every day for my family because I get some primal thrill out of knowing I have fed them something delicious and good for them. Most nights I am exhausted after a day at work but strangely enough once I start cooking I feel re-energised.
Most of the recipes I post on this site I have tried myself. I am not a professional cook, nor do I have a fancy kitchen but I have found that there are a million recipes out there that are pretty easy to make. I focus on recipes that are quick (less than 30 minutes), healthy and economical. Sometimes I will try something a bit more 'gourmet' but most of the time it will be quick, clean and tasty.

And I am getting married very soon...
Last month I asked my wonderful boyfriend Peter to marry me. He said 'yes'. We have both been married before but it is just as exciting the second time around although this time instead of having a year to prepare we have three months! What the heck, I can do it..how hard can it be??
Some of my favourite things...
