What’s For Dinner?: 30-minute quick and easy family meals. The Sunday Times bestseller from the Taming Twins fuss-free family food blog

Product Information

This blog is about how I feed my family whilst busy juggling life. I originally named it as I thought I’d write about parenting, but predictably it ended up being all about food because: I had learned to leverage social media as the ultimate shop window to your product and that was incredibly insightful in growing my blog following. I also learned the value to be found from listening to your audience and being as supremely helpful and informative as possible.

Whereas a casserole (in the UK at least) tends to be a similar dish, but cooked in the oven in a lidded saucepan.

This all-in-one pasta dish is cooked in a single pan, making cleaning up after a family meal easy-peasy!I ran a small cookery school teaching cake decorating. I loved the customers and it gave me a brilliant grounding in the early years of social media. I sold the business when I first had my children.

If you want to get scientific, the reason we brown meat before slow cooking is because it causes a Maillard reaction. The process of frying, heating it to a hot temperature until it browns, changes the flavour compounds in the meat, basically adding a depth of flavour.Heated the leftovers up with some veg and a spoon full of crunchy peanut butter and some rice noodles.
