donna hay

Today I picked up my first donna hay cookbook. Thanks Borders for the 40% off coupon! In case you're not familiar with who donna hay is... She's an Australian-based food stylist, author and magazine editor. I believe she has 13 cookbooks. She also has her own magazine, donna hay, which I've been wanting to subscribe to but is ridiculously expensive... so not worth the $100+ subscription fee for only six issues a year.

I'm very excited about my purchase and disappointed that I didn't buy any of her books sooner. It was published in 2004, but these recipes are timeless, simple, modern and I love the food styling and photography in this book. Super simple recipes which equal great weekday dinners. I love the quality of this book - hardback with a kitchen friendly plastic dust jacket. I'm anxious to try out some recipes that I've already marked! Will be posting my attempts soon!


In addition to the instant cook, I bought Modern Classics Book 1 on Amazon for an amazing discount! the wonders of the internet! Lately we've been eating out more... should be cooking at home. This has me excited about trying new recipes. Now the hard part is choosing which ones to test out first.
