Olivia Galletly started out as a graphic designer - but quickly realised the gig wasn't for her and that designing recipes was more her style. She's perhaps better known as The Hungry Cook, which was the name of the blog she set up ten years ago to showcase her work. A decade later she's transferred her culinary creativity into a book - also called The Hungry Cook - which is chock-full of her favourite dishes.
Olivia is also now mum to two small children - so the book has some quick go-tos and recipes she's found work well for fussy young eaters. But there's also a section for when you need to cook to impress - or comfort - including the intriguingly named "heartbreak chicken". She joins Kathryn to talk about her food journey, including why chef school wasn't for her, and how this book has been a labour of love for her whole family.
