I travel a lot. I’m always doing shows, either for No Kid Hungry, BodyKey, or now out promoting the new book, Good Food–Fast! When I’m on the road, I miss my family and friends in Sydney. This year, now that I’m back for my ninth year hosting the Fabulous Food Show, I realize how much I've missed Cleveland.
Seems we’ve all managed to survive another scary, sugar-filled Halloween. I don’t know about you, but I certainly had my fill of chocolate, candy and ice cream.
It’s fall already! I can’t believe it’s time to trade in my swimmers for pumpkins. Seriously, where did summer go??
The more I sit, watch, listen and absorb this hectic world we live in, the more I see we are losing our connection to what really matters, focusing on "things" instead of what’s truly important.
Contrary to rumors, I have not fallen off the planet. It’s been two months since my last blog post about the Chef’s Cycle for No Kid Hungry. I spent a crazy few weeks of editing, shooting, cooking, then more writing, for my new cookbook being released in November 2014.
This may be my most important blog post ever. With less than a month before my 3 day, 300+ mile Chefs on Bikes ride, I am growing more and more excited about everything that is happening.
It’s good to be back in front of the keyboard, well actually, that’s not entirely true. I have been in front of the keyboard every day cranking out recipes for my new cookbook, due for release in November of this year, which I am most excited about!
Wow. 40. Me! I’d like to say my 40th birthday snuck up on me, but I can’t. You see kids, this last year, my 40th on the planet, has been amazing. So many things have come full circle for me and I have had the time to reflect and realize what an amazing ride my life has been.
2014 is looking like a pretty exciting year! By now most of you know of my involvement with No Kid Hungry and how dear this charity is to me. I’m excited to share with you the upcoming Chefs On Bikes Ride for No Kid Hungry.
I’m back in Sydney after some extensive traveling, first to spend time with my son Hunter, then I was over to my birth place, New Zealand, to compete in the ANZA Challenge.
