I have just recently tuned in to Home Cooked and the recipes are great, they are also cheap and fast to make and I'm sure they appeal to real families. I can't wait to cook the Creamy Bacon Fettucine. I just hope the Win tv network have this show on regularly as I will be tuning in every week from now on. Great job Julie keep up the great work.

Fantastic show! Hope there will be a cookbook. Just wondering what I could use instead of the cream as a lower fat alternative? Thanks
my husband doesn't like eggs so he avoids carbonara - but this little gem is a winner ! he loved it and so did our 3 year old and 1 year old ! great recipes, great show, congrats and more please !
This is a great recipe and quick and easy. Thanks Julie - love your show, you are my new favourite cook on the telly. Keep up the good work, your recipes are easy to follow and taste great.
I cooked this tonight but didn't have any dijon mustard so I added about a teaspoon of worcestershire sauce and it was absolutley beautiful, the whole family loved it and want me to make it regularly. Thanx heaps Julie you cook real food for real families. We all love your show.
I have a family of 6 and always double everything when I cook. This meal was enough and even some had seconds, it was that nice. Best of all it was quick and cheap. Thank you Julie. Cheers SG
