Food Connection is written by an Australian/European working mother and home cook, Helen Moursellas. In this cookbook she provides inspiration and encouragement to other working parents who are equally passionate about bringing family and friends together to share delicious and nutritious meals.

This practical book is for the inexperienced cook who wants to impress family and friends with simple, yet appealing meals. It is also for those who have recently discovered a new found passion to create and cook delicious dishes at home. Many of Helen’s recipes can also be frozen ahead of time and defrosted when needed, particularly when hosting celebrations or small gatherings. There are 88 classic recipes, adapted for our modern lifestyle, showcasing a variety of delicious, easy to achieve dishes with anecdotes, tips and beautiful photography.

Recipes are presented under titles such as “Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch”, Snacks or Canapes”, “From the Ocean”, “From the Paddock”, “Greek Sweets”, etc. Whether it’s a quick mid-week family dish or entertaining friends on the weekend, you will find recipes that will overcome any fears and guide you towards a successful food connection.

Delicious recipes range from simple ones such as, “Bircher Muesli on the Go”, “Olive Bread”, “Date Scones” to exotic ones such as “Santorini Zucchini Pie”, “Mushroom and Avocado Chicken Roulade with Wine Jus”, and “Lebanese Knaffe”. It extends to offerings from Helen’s Greek roots such as “Bougatsa”, “Stifado” and “Youvarlakia” and also to vegetarian and vegan diets. One cookbook to help enhance your existing connections and make new ones along the way.
