the macpherson diaries

Hi, I’m Jana. I live in gorgeous Queenstown with my 2 children, Hunter (9) and River (7) and our dog Hudson.

I love cooking and sharing recipes here with you. My main focus is easy weeknight dinners. I want to help you get a hassle free and delicious dinner on the table quickly, that will satisfy all your dinner companions, especially families.

You will find my popular recipes for Salmon Curry, Pulled Pork in Bao Buns and Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake, plus loads of salads and special occasion recipes too.

When I am not in the kitchen or playing with my children by the local river, I can be found trekking the gorgeous walks on our doorstep, or sampling some of the incredible local wines.

If you love what you see here, head to Jana's Dinner Club, my online community where I share monthly eBooks and recipes. Doors will be opening soon, so subscribe to stay in touch.

Happy Cooking xx Jana Read More…
