My inspiration for cooking started with MasterChef. I watch all the MasterChef programmes. My favourite person in MasterChef Australia 2010 was Philip, but he was eliminated early on in the series. I also enjoy Junior MasterChef I wish I could cook like those kids!

I love to draw, especially comic strips, and thats where the idea for this book came from. I drew a recipe as a comic strip and my mom thought that was a very good idea. My dad suggested that I draw comic recipes for my stall at the Mzansi Magic Market Day, where I won out of more than 400 stalls! One idea led to the next and I decided to do a cookbook with a difference an activity cookbook!

I hope that you enjoy the recipes and activities in this book as much as I do.
