Australian actress, director, writer, and producer, Jane Kennedy has turned her hand to cookbooks filled with delicious recipes, minus the boombah.

Boombah: (adj) Word to describe food that makes your arse huge.

I’ve been making these recipes for more than a year now and my whole family loves them. This is an unapologetic wake-up call about eating less fattening foods but it is hilarious at the same time. You’ll be laughing while you cook yourself slim. The book is available here.

Here is Jane’s recipe for Satay Chicken with Peanut Sauce, Pineapple, and Cucumber Salad:

• 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 skinless chicken fillets, cut into strips

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

• 1/4 cup sugar-free peanut butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon baker’s sugar
• pinch of cayenne pepper

Cucumber Salad:

• 1 Lebanese cucumber, peeled and sliced into discs
• Few slices of fresh pineapple, chopped
• 1/4 small white onion, finely chopped
• 1 small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1/2 cup of water
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Soak bamboo skewers.

In a mixing bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic, cumin, chilli powder, coriander, and salt. Add chicken strips and mix with the marinade until well coated. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 10 mins to infuse flavors.

To make peanut sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender and whiz till smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To make the salad, toss the cucumber, pineapple, and onions with the water, vinegar, and chilli and refrigerate (I left out the chilli for this photo and added it after I served the kids).

Line an oven tray with baking paper. Scrape most of the marinade off the chicken then thread the pieces onto bamboo skewers. Arrange on oven tray and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Serve satays with cucumber salad and peanut dipping sauce.

For already skinny kids, add brown rice!
