Social media sensation and foodie influencer Sarah Rossi aka Taming Twins has been inspiring families to create speedy, fuss-free family food on a budget via her Instagram since 2013. Now she's written a book called 'What's For Dinner?' and shares her secrets to delicious meals that take just 30 minutes, from pan-to-plate.
"I think about dinner before I even get out of bed in the morning" says Sarah, so there is no surprise she's very organised!
