"While I love to cook, I don't want to spend hours in the process. If I can skip or simplify a step and get the same result, I will." She believes that preparing and sharing simple but delicious food is the cornerstone of a good life. "In a world that places so many demands on our lives, taking a few minutes to prepare a meal and enjoy the ritual of eating together provides a rhythm to daily life and gives us a sense of belonging and connection," she says.

Inspired by daily harvests from her vegetable garden and orchard on the shores of Lake Wanaka in New Zealand's scenic Southern Alps, Annabel's recipes are delicious yet still healthy, and impressive but easy.
