About Us

Welcome to The Effortless Cook blog

We are two mums who are passionate about food and love entertaining. However, with busy work schedules, five children, five dogs and a host of poultry and other pets between us the luxury of spending hours in the kitchen creating divine dinner parties seems long gone.


Our standards are high but we don’t want to be slaves in the kitchen while our guests enjoy cocktails without us, so we started creating more sophisticated food for special occasions which can be prepared well ahead of the event. Over the last three years we have been looking at canapés, starters, main courses and puddings, along with the trimmings, all of which you can cook in advance and freeze until you need them. How much easier would a birthday celebration or a house full of people at Christmas be if you knew that your meals were planned, prepared and waiting in the freezer for you?


Thus we came up with the idea of The Effortless Cook….we hope you enjoy it!
