I was recently invited to share my healthy lifestyle and cooking tips at a special workshop for Rio Tinto Alcan employees in Gladstone, Queensland.

Drum roll... And the winner of my Olympic Rings competition is... Penny from WA. She chose the full set of cookbooks to replace her old ones. Penny said "Cooking using the recipes from Annette’s books helped me to lose weight a few years ago but need to really focus on using them all the time again.  Receiving this prize might be the little nudge I needed."  ..
