BIG ON FLAVOUR, LOW ON COST

Meet
Chelsea

Hi, I’m Chelsea β€” cookbook author, home cook, and single mum of three. I started sharing my recipes and meal plans in 2022 to help families like mine put nourishing, budget-friendly dinners on the table without the stress.

From my kitchen in the Huon Valley, Lutrawita/Tasmania, I create recipes that are comforting, affordable, and designed to reduce food waste.

Whether you're meal planning for the week or just trying to make the most of what's in the fridge, I’m here to help you cook with confidence β€” and a little more joy!
