Cooking Made Simple With 4 Ingredients Author

Kim McCosker uncovered the simplicity of cooking with her popular ‘4 Ingredients’ series of cookbooks, and the Queensland-based chef visited Mackay last week to share her tips and tricks.

Lucky attendees met Ms McCosker at the Gordon White Library, having a fantastic time and learning lots about cooking with just four ingredients.

After being turned down by every major publisher in Australia, the author self-published her first cookbook ‘4 Ingredients’ in 2007, which went on to become the best-selling self-published book in Australian history.

The initial book has spawned 37 cookbooks, a publishing house, smartphone app, cookware range and television series, making Ms McCosker a trusted household name.

“When I first wrote ‘4 Ingredients’, I thought our target audience would be busy Mums, just like me,” Ms McClusker said.

“I have been astounded by the number of men, students and retirees who have embraced the 4 Ingredients philosophy.”
