Fast, Fresh, Simple

Donna Hay’s new book, fast, fresh, simple., delivers more than 160 recipes. Donna has distilled her vast repertoire of shortcuts, tricks of the trade and ingenious ways to make simple, great-tasting and -looking food into one breakthrough cookbook, with a section devoted to achieving Donna’s signature style.

The “fast” chapter offers sweet and savoury options for cooks who need to deliver big results in the barest minimum of time. Home at six and dinner on the table by six-thirty? Donna’s recipes are bound to save the day. In the “fresh” chapter, Donna looks to the classics and explains how to deliver all the flavour with none of the fuss of time-consuming preparation. She reinvents the classics and gives them a contemporary edge. If there is a short cut, trust Donna to have found it. In the “simple” chapter, she reveals how to take fresh produce and a few store-bought standbys and turn them into a collection of recipes that will become essential weapons in your culinary arsenal.

At the age of eight, Donna Hay skipped into a kitchen, picked up a mixing bowl and never looked back. She moved to the world of magazine test kitchens and publishing, where she established her trademark style of simple, smart and seasonal recipes all beautifully put together and photographed. It is food for every cook, every food lover, every day and every occasion. Her unique style turned her into an international food-publishing phenomenon as a bestselling author of 20 cookbooks, publisher of donna hay magazine, newspaper columnist, and creator of a homewares and food range.
