She might be better known as the glam wife of AFL star Tom Hawkins, but to me, she’s the woman who tried to cook lasagne with raw mince.

“The first time, I forgot to cook the mince before I put it in,” Emma tells me. “It was just a disaster. I think Tom was only 19 and he was in Geelong and I had a few of his teammates over and I was so trying to impress everyone - and I served them raw lasagne!

You're lucky you and your lovely Geelong Cats hubby are high-school sweethearts, babes!

When she’s not blogging up a storm at her lifestyle hub Who Loves That, she’s Lifestyle Director at Yellowglen (hello, dream job much?) but I figured it’s about time Emma conquered her fear of everyone’s fave pasta dish.

My one tip to people is: don’t let people bully you into thinking you can’t cook! Practice makes perfect so just keep trying until you get it.
