" fresh and light is my answer to my own best efforts to juggle for the perfect balance. Designed to complement my existing repertoire, it′s full of new recipes that combine the freshest ingredients, pantry staples and my personal tricks for a lighter touch. I′ve never been a fan of diets and this book is no exception. I don′t even like the thought of anyone being on a diet! For me, it′s always been about balance. fresh and light is mindful of fat and carbohydrates, but is focused on flavour and variety - without the guilt.

Divided by meal, fresh and light is a solution-packed book of recipes loaded with power foods to give you the balance you need across your week. There are light breakfasts, tasty lunch box tips and fast dinner solutions to give you ideas for every time of the day. We all have our guilty pleasures in life. fresh and light lets you enjoy them and is for all those times when you′re seeking something a little more virtuous. And that′s really the best kind of indulgence of all - the one with balance. " - Donna Hay

About the author

Donna Hay is one of the best-known names in cookbook and magazine publishing in the world. Her books have sold more than 2.2 million copies internationally and are renowned for their fresh style, easy-to-follow recipes and inspirational photography. Donna's first job post-TAFE home economics diploma was in the test kitchens of the Australian Women's Weekly. She began to not only develop recipes but to style them, too. Distracted by the plethora of extras: candles, glasses, flowers, sauce boats, fancy folded napkins that went into photographing a dish, Donna started to pare down the props and let the food be the hero. By the time Donna had become the food editor of marie claire magazine her style was set: fresh, modern food on white plates, with simple backgrounds that has captured the imagination of cooks worldwide and set a new benchmark for modern food styling and publishing.

Nineteen phenomenally successful cookbooks later (including Seasons, off the shelf and modern classics books 1&2, the instant cook, instant entertaining, the simple essentials collection and the marie claire cooking series) Donna Hay has a swag of prestigious international food awards. Her donna hay magazine continues to inspire cooks of all levels of experience with each new seasonal addition of simple but special recipe and entertaining ideas.
