Providing creative meals at any time with the ingredients you have at hand has never been easier. The deliciously entertaining new cookbook The Friendly Fridge contains all the cooking info you need in one easy read. Author Sally Sartain ran a bed and breakfast for many years, after having run two successful restaurants, with her husband Rex. Accomplished in the kitchen and able to easily prepare wholesome meals for her guests, she was often asked to share her culinary secrets. After one guest commented that he had an "unfriendly fridge" at his home, the idea was sown like a seed for The Friendly Fridge. The Author says "The Friendly Fridge" was created to enable folks like him and also friends and family, who might need encouragement in the future , to be able to concoct meals at the 'drop of a hat' from their own Friendly Fridge rather than having to go out to eat all the time." Don't you want a Friendly Fridge in your home? About the Author: Sally Sartain grew up in England in London and Kent. She lived three years in New Zealand before latter years settling in Mornington, near Melbourne, Australia. She declares, "Happiness is good food, good wine and someone with whom to share it!"

Taking up cooking as a hobby can be an enormous amount of fun. Learning recipes is part of the process. Logging various recipes you come across in a journal ensures you always have access to those special ones you wish to visit and revisit time and time again. Not having a journal could mean you may forget a great recipe so the journal becomes a reference manual of sorts. The journal can also be used to rewrite and tweak recipes so they are altered to your own desired specifications. Writing things down in a journal also allows you to organize your recipes in a way that would not be possible without a clear log.

Their Idea: When a movie buff and a Chef fall in love...

Ideas are powerful if you are bold enough to share those, so they discussed their thoughts and passions until the architecture was in place to house their visions...

Whenever she talked with him about food items mentioned in movies that she adores, he was inspired to create entire meals based upon those ideas. He wrote the recipes and cooked the meals, and then they dined with incredible movie-inspired meals while watching those movies.

One evening, over dessert, they discussed how much fun they had combining movies with meals and how other people would enjoy this new twist on dinner and a movie too. This was the birth of the idea for this book.

Ideas are powerful if given focus and direction, so they started to plan and to work...

As a Chef and author, he is amazing at offering recipes that taste awesome and can be created at home by beginners. As a movie buff and editor, she gives him the inspiration, tests meals, does the dishes, translates his "Chef speak" for the recipes, and edits his books.

Ideas are powerful if given support, so they created a project on kickstarter.com to obtain the financial support needed to create this cookbook...

The project received 37 Kickstarter backers, who made the project a possibility, and we thank you. You, who believed in our vision and in our potential to fulfill that vision with this book.

Ideas are powerful if given a voice to communicate...

Each movie inspired recipe was crafted with accompanying recipes into a meal of three courses (appetizer, entree, dessert) which complement each other. Each meal was designed to serve four people so that you can share the fun with family and friends.

The MIM Trivia Game was crafted with hints of different difficulty levels, to see if you can guess the movie that inspired the one recipe from each three course meal. The mess was formed into a book draft, then Lisa did the editing (and the dinner dishes ) until everything was as it should be.

The Result of the Idea...

We are delighted to offer this unique book to you. We strive to find work that always inspires us and continues our journey to learn, try, fail, postpone, succeed, and love together. We hope you not only enjoy this book enough to share it with your family and friends, but we also hope to become people who you want to follow for sharing in our future projects.
