Big Gene’s Family Kitchen started with the idea of a book of recipes for my children so they could cook good, tasty, healthy food when they went off to university – not falling into the trap of pasta every day and sauce from a jar.

​

I want to make cooking accessible and easy for everyone – children and adults -  inspiring people new to cooking to give making easy healthy food a go. It is not for accomplished chefs, it is full of hacks and shortcuts which I am sure are not the done thing.

​

This book has arisen from 30 years of family cooking most of which I learned from my mum, Nori.

I want everyone to have a go at the recipes and share their creations on instagram. We will post regular recipe updates, and cooking hacks and tips so please follow us.
