Recipes toimpress

G’day,

Welcome to the Simple Cooking Club’s first e-book. My name is

Jason and I love cooking simple amazing food and now have

over 35 years of cooking experience that I can share with you.

This e-book is all about our viewers favourite ‘recipes to im-

press’. You don’t need a lot of time, or many ingredients in my

world to make delicious food that comes alive before your very

eyes.

I first became interested in food as a young child watching my

parents turn ingredients into a lovely meal or a super yummy

dessert. That seed that was planted at a young age has now

grown into a passion. Let me share with you my passion for

food and show you it can be very easy to make some amazing

dishes.

Cooking can be a fun and interesting journey, and with this

e-book I will take you on that journey of discovery as you ama-

ze your friends and yourself with

some simple food ideas.

please feel free to share this with

your friends and family.

With gratitude,
