You'd think with a celebrity chef at the helm, family dinner would be a breeze for Adam Liaw and his brood.
But the 44-year-old TV star tells Woman's Day evenings at the Liaw home in Sydney's Lower North Shore are much the same as those of every other Aussie family.
"The sole goal of the evening is to get dinner made and into the kids' bellies and get them to bed," Adam laughs as he sits down at the kitchen table for a chat after his three kids, Christopher, nine, Anna, six, and Benji, three, head off to school with his wife Asami.
Adam's latest cookbook, Tonight's Dinner 2, the sequel to his bestselling book of midweek recipes, is all about getting a meal on the table quickly.
"For anyone, whether you've got kids or not, cooking is all about practicality," who's also focused on says Adam, affordability, given the state of the economy and with Christmas rapidly approaching.
"I don't care who you are or how much your family take home at this point, with what food is costing, everyone is thinking about it," he says. "It's just the choices that you make and the dishes that you choose!"
