Chelsea

Hi, I’m Chelsea! I write cookbooks and I'm a single mum living in a small town in Southern Lutruwita/Tasmania.

I taught myself to cook from scratch and meal plan when I was 30 and what started as a way to feed my kids on a tight budget, has now grown into a community of hundreds of thousands across Australia!

I’m passionate about bold flavours, seasonal produce, reducing food waste and cooking food that tastes great, without costing a fortune.

Whether you’ve been following since the early $10 Meals days or you’re new here, welcome! You’re always invited to the table.

Every errand or school drop-off I do now, becomes a produce treasure hunt! 🧄🫑🍅🍏 And why not when there are roadside stalls selling apples for $2/kg, tomatoes for $3/kg, silverbeet at $2.50/bunch… and it’s almost always spray-free 💚
