Lazy Day is a weekly series for those quiet evenings or relaxed Sunday mornings where you finally have a break from the busy-ness of the week to collect your thoughts.
Each week, I gather together some of my food hero guests’ favourite things to make it easier for you.
Whether it’s a cookbook mentioned on the podcast, TV shows they tune into, notable goodies to YouTube or Google, or awesome food blogs to follow, you’ll find many of the things mentioned on their episodes here.
The information super highway (do people still use this term?) is such a HUGE place, and for me, sometimes I don’t even know where to start looking. I hope this series gives you a good jumping off point.
