I writing this to let you know a little about me as I have had a couple of people replying to my recipe threads in not a nice way.

I know alot of you do appreciate the recipes I post and I post those recipes for you !

I'm a mum of 13 amazing children and yes one husband.

I've always had a love of cooking and this started from a very young age.

Having 13 kids it was a rare treat to go to a restaurant, so I brought the restaurant to us by learning and cooking Amazing food

I experimented with alot of recipes , I would also try to make our $ go further.

As time went on and mile stones happened I found myself catering for events including up to 150 people. Yes I cooked everything and plentiful.

Over these years, I have tried and tested thousands of recipes, and I share on here those that I or family and friends love.

I have never ever claimed that I invented those recipes.

Did you know most recipes that well-known chefs use are not originally theirs.
Creating a recipe goes through many stages.

I spoke to a very close friend of mine last night who happens to be a chef and a very popular chef on instagram, she also owns and runs her own restaurant and is also a comedian at The comedy company .
Point is , I asked her if I was doing anything wrong ? She laughed and said did you write a book ,use other people's recipes and photos and made money from it ...the answer is no . I do use other people's recipes which I sometimes change , I do sometimes use other people's photos .....BUT I DONT MAKE MONEY FROM IT . I do it because I want to share . She then said , there is no problem, she also said to those causing you grief .... Well I can't repeat what she said .

She went on to tell me and these are her exact words ....Hey Suz you know your lasagne recipe , Your meatball recipe, Your White chicken soup recipe , I said yes , She replied look at my insta videos I used your recipes.

I Dont want praise or even a thank you , I just want people to enjoy the recipes I love and know that those who think they cant cook that they can.

For those who are giving me grief I say don't you something better to do .
You don't know what other people are going through and even one negative reply can cause a very negative affect.
Lifes already to short let's enjoy what's left and be kind to others.

Please if you need help with recipes message me , I'm happy to help if I can

I am so sorry that you felt you had to write this! The only 'bad' reaction you get from me is me thinking oh god more calories! seriously, I look forward to seeing what you are going to post. Some recipes from you I haven't seen since I was little and my grandparents would make them. It brings back wonderful memories

So thank you Suzanne! Keep doing what you're doing!

PS just a little question... How the heck did you manage all that with 13 kids AND your hubby? I thought my grandparents having 10 was a lot!

Thank you for your kind words. To be honest I don't know. Back then I just did it.
I kept a clean house, cooked every day including cakes.
Did reading recovery twice a week at my kids school as well as home reading once a week.
Plus I did party plan to bring in extra money.

When my kids and their family drop in my daughters are always amazed at how quick I whip something up.

I deal with neg comments but others dont

I reckon we all get recipes from websites. I certainly get recipes from Australia's Best Recipes, Taste, SBS, 4 ingredients, etc. I also love recipes from Dietitians who post recipes on social media sites. Being lactose intolerant, there aren't any bought cakes that don't contain milk. Therefore, I bake my own and it tastes better at anyway. I've only posted a couple of recipes, but I certainly appreciate any recipes that are posted by members. I suppose we could all say where we got the recipes from, that way it's transparent. eg. this recipe is from Taste, friend or relative. What do you think?

Hello Suzanne Rose,
just ignore these people who are causing you grief. In the past I moderated a couple of groups of various subjects and I can tell you ...... no matter how well you do things, how correct you are, how much effort you put in - there will be folks who just seem to get their jollies by bitching. Ignore them, NO-ONE including you are forcing them to read or try your recipes and the ones that you post. I collect recipes and cook a bit myself and read recipes, some of yours included, and sometimes think "No not for me, not this one" and that's okay, others I like and save.
Thank you for your work.
I also realise some folks have specific dietary needs and I allow for them when cooking for them, however if I read a recipe in a general list - I certainly do not expect that list to be specifically designed for what I want. They need to get a grip of reality and if some folks have specific needs they can adapt or use the internet to access recipe lists to suit them.
Keep on doing what you are doing - I am sure that many, many folks appreciate your work, and hit delete if possible for those rude people giving you grief. Cheers, Maggie
