I would love the recipe for Creme Brulee shown by Donna Hay on Lifestyle Food on Sunday 8 Jan 2012 in Brisbane if anyone has it please?
Love your show Donna on UK Food Channel , saw you for the first time this evening and immediately tried your blueberrie muffin - they turned out exactly the way they looked on tv and my goodness they taste so good also. Look forward to seeing more of you !!
I am a Donna Hay convert! Your pumpkin soup is so yum and your osso bucco is divine. My daughter had 3 serves!!! And it is all so easy to make but doesn't look it. Everyone's impressed with my new repertoire....thanks Donna xx
Love your show (hubby does too) , looking for the BBQ Chicken Breast Burger recipe you did on monday 13th June (FOXTEL). it had paprika in the marinade was just wondering what the other ingredients for the marinade are please !
I'm looking for this recipe too. It was on here a week ago and I planned to make it tonight but now it's disappeared!!!! What is going on Lifestyle Food?
Would really like to know where donna buys the khaki shirts she wears on the website. Fantastic!
Love Donna's recipes.. So simple and easy to follow.
Donna you look fantastic!
Love the show! Recipes are so simple, even I might be able to make them...stay tuned!
love your show have made a heap of your recipes but am having trouble finding Sponge finger biscuits in the supermarkets is there anything else i could use instead. have searched high and low for the darn things.
Annette they are also called savioardi biscuits and are usually with the biscotti etc in coles or woolies
really enjoying the fabulous tips on the show - thanks for constant ideas!!!!
cheers to the beef burgers!!!!!

Donna Hay s my new favourite TV chef. Love, love, love her. SImple recipes people at home will actually attempt and such a lady. I love the way she speaks and presents herself. Well done Donna.
What about a receipe for a Almond and lemon pie, love lemonds and almonds. whenever! Love the show. Very simple receipes and quick and easy.
Hi - can anyone help? Just made the roasted pumpkin soup and wanted to know if I can freeze it. Not sure because of the cream. It is delicious though!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Caterina, I froze it for about two weeks. When i reheated it, i did so on the stove top and added a little fresh milk to help the process along (I find milk helps the cream to do its thing after its been frozen). I had no problems and the family ate it all (again) second time around.
the roast pumpkin soup looks delicious! can't wait to try it out. thanks for a great show. love the simple to cook meals and no fuss, down to earth style. :)
Just tuned into your show for the first time, love the recipes that I saw. Can't wait to start cooking
Love the show, I would like some pasta recipes
Love the show, the food looks amazing and so simple. Can't wait to start making them.
your great influence especially to all those cooks and chefs out there i d admire you creating menus and recipes id think menu planning can be quite daunting to me because id need more practise but watching your show inspires me to believe there is hope
Wonderful new show. Donna is a delight to watch.
your inspiration to all chefs and cooks especially to me you take great amount of dedication and time is reflecting in your recipes you make it look so easy its fantastic great cooking show
Really enjoying the show. Have now bought the book as well. Everything looks so easy to do.
What an amazing spot to cook outside on the bbq!
You are an inspriation to all the busy women out there to show we can still cook an amazing meal with not much effort for during the week. Finally you have your own TV show! You make it look so easy and fast to cook those amazing meals not only do they look great but taste fantastic. Great to have a cooking show on that you do not have many ingredients to create a spectacular meal & dessert.. All the best for your future show's can't wait for the following weeks. Lisa
Great new show...good simple everyday recipes that everyone can make...I love the concept & Donna is great too watch cook...well done!
Trying to get Donna Hays recipe for fried rice
It is Saturday morning and I have been off work all week due to an injury...watched Donna Hay on Wednesday morning and out of the six recipes cooked on the show I have made five, with the ingredients for the sixth in my fridge! Brilliant show with such fantastically easy recipes that all of the family loved...especially the coconut macaroons with ice cream. Can't wait til next weeks show! Lisa
same here, looking forward to next week ^.^
great show can't wait for next week Jane Bee
I love your recipes and am so far loving the show. The one dessert we seem to have endless amounts of failures with is crème brûlée - do you think you could make one on a future episode? thanks heaps Wendy
Not a fan
Why does the word pillock suddenly spring to mind?
Because I wanted to...?
Then why write a comment?
Boring....honestly where is the imagination and skill level here, this dish is an embarassment, does not inspire me to watch your show
don't think it has so much to do about the skill level or whether you would get 5 stars for it. For most people it is about quick, easy, delicious food that even busy mother's can make.
so not nice man honestly like you could do any better
sorry but...... a food stylist is not a cook. Pretty pictures yes but really, how often is a home cook is going to photograph their food. No matter how pretty it may look, it's all about the taste. JMHO....
not really you want something that can look good as it tastes!
I'm a big big fan of you from US! Your cookbooks are sooooo amazing!!! +.+
