Join Emily as she talks to best selling author and social media influencer The Batch Lady (Suzanne Mulholland) about her remarkable journey so far. What started as her own family's batch cooking caught the attention of mums at the school gates, asking 'how do you always manage to have home-cooked meals every night?" and with that, the Batch Lady was born.
