As a nutritional consultant for over 25 years, Mrs Jasprizza has been able to collate and collect hundreds of what are essentially family-favourite recipes.

Some are inspired by her mum, while others have been developed by her children. There's a few in there that are the brainchild of her friends and colleagues.

But all of them stem from a love of food and family.

So when the coronavirus grip really tightened on the community in March, and families across Orange were forced to tighten their belts, Mrs Jasprizza decided now is the perfect time to share those recipes on a wider scale.

The Very Best Of Cookbook, Jacki's Gastronomical Gossip, is her way of giving families a hand, with the recipes designed to be healthy, budget friendly and, importantly, kid friendly too.

"All of the recipes remind me of someone, and that's where the names are from," she said of the 120-page book.

"Initially when people were panic-buying things, it forced people to get together and think about what they could use to cook at home, and the planning was done together as a family.

"You can look up anything on taste.com but there's nothing like an old fashioned cookbook, with tangible pages there in front of you. It's a useful resource to help budget, eat well and involve the family and enjoy food."

And what's Mrs Jasprizza's go-to recipe? Jacki's Salmon Fritters, of course.

"I love it because it's fish, it's high in omega 3, cheap as chips and really tasty," she added.

"And it's made from stuff you probably already have in the pantry or fridge."
