The author gives her advice for simplifying your Christmas cooking
Kim McCosker is known for her four-ingredient series, but in her newest book she tackles a holiday that few go minimal for: Christmas. In 4 Ingredients Christmas, McCosker tries to keep up the festivity and excitement without breaking the bank. For her, the reason to rethink is simple: "The average household takes until the following year in May to get their Christmas-incurred credit card under control." Her book aims to prove that you can have your Christmas cake and eat it too — by simplifying recipes she hopes to not only save her readers time, but by reducing the number of ingredients they will inevitably save money. She points out that "Some of [the recipes] are only two ingredients!"

The woman behind the famous 4 ingredients cook books, is now branching out to help those with food intolerance's.
Kim McCosker has already released 33 cook books under her 4 ingredients banner.
Her latest addition is her gluten free, lactose free book – after a huge demand from followers.
A Current Affair spent a day with the queen of simple cooking, learning some new recipe's.
"We have over 750 thousand followers on facebook and every time i post a recipe, the first question i get is, is it gluten free." Mrs McCosker said.
So Kim listened to the calls for help and started to do her research. She found around one research which shows, one in 70 people have coeliac disease, with a huge 80 percent of those undiagnosed.
Coeliac disease is when your immune system reacts abnormally to gluten, and can cause bowel damage.
Kim realised there was a hole in the market for quick, simple recipe's that helped people with intolerances.
"I thought gluten free was a little bit of a fad, but i honestly believe it's not just plateauing, it is increasing in interest." She told A Current Affair.
Kim first released a gluten free 4 ingredients cook book 10 years ago, when ingredients like quinoa and kale didn't exist. She claims now it's even easier to eat guten and lactose free.
The new book includes more than 70 recipes’ all with just 4 ingredients.
While A Current Affair was with Kim, she whipped up a simple chicken satay, using just curry paste, peanut butter, coconut cream and chicken.
"Anyone could do that, and you know what, you don't need to be coeliac, you don't need to have any intolerances, it's just easy everyday food, for everyone.
Even the pickiest eaters will dig into these kid-friendly dishes from 4 Ingredient Kids: Simple, Healthy Fun in the Kitchen.
This book brings clever cooking into your home for you and your kids to enjoy. 4 Ingredient Kids: Simple, Healthy Fun in the Kitchen, by Kim McCosker, shows that you don&rsquot have to fuss over a long list of ingredients or several steps of prep to bring fab, fun food to the table.
Transform the humble sandwich into a lunch box favorite. Note: Bacteria grows rapidly within the temperature range of 40 degrees F to 140 degrees F, so it’s always smart to add ice packs to a lunch box, placing them near the food meant to be kept cold.
Every time I see this photo, it makes me smile. Isn’t food just wonderful? It allows us to be so creative, easily turning a staple meatloaf into gorgeous cupcakes. The options are endless, but some of my favorite smuggling ideas are finely chopped celery, onion, grated carrot and beets with seasoned fresh thyme. What’s smuggling? Sneaking veggies into foods, undetected by kids.
