EEEEK! My son just reminded me that it’s the last day of May. This means a number of things….the last official day of autumn in New Zealand. Only a few more weeks until the shortest day. And my last chance to post this photo in the correct month. (And if you know me, you know Read more

Stuck in a lunchbox rut?

Hey there lovely Niblers! Does your heart sink every evening when it’s time to sort out tomorrow’s lunches? Are you fed up with opening up the lunchboxes after school (or work!) and discovering that there appears to be more food left in there than when they left the house? Are you done with the same-old Read more

Hi there! I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. I’ve felt like such a jet-setter recently – having not stepped foot inside an airport for months, suddenly I was off to Auckland, home again, and then off to Christchurch within the space of a week. Lucky me! I got to hang out with family and Read more

They add such a beautiful burst of colour, antioxidants and fibre, and although they taste super-sweet, they’re not Read more

Well here we are in autumn already in NZ and I don’t know about you. but I’m really noticing the differences! I’m pretty sure you know that I have a smoothie most days of the week. Dark, brisk mornings make me want to switch from fresh and summery green smoothies to something more substantial – and Read more

Nibl Events in Dunedin 2015

Howdy Niblers! Late last year the wonderful Isabella Harrex and her trusty camera came along to the Plant-Based Food 101 Workshop. It was a great event – as well as me demonstrating different techniques for creating amazing healthy food, we had lots of creation stations where the guests got to concoct their own plant-based alchemy! We had blenders Read more

You – yes YOU! I need your help.

I’m looking at you! Since I live in the place that is about to become Gigatown Dunedin​, it makes sense to take this whole Nibl shebang online (I’ve been planning that for a while but the Gigatown win sealed the deal). One of my plans to run an e-course – so that people can share Read more

Hey there Niblers As promised, here’s what your February dish from the calendar could look like. This month we have the Roast Vegetable Quinoa Bowl – one of my go-to recipes when I gave no thought to dinner for my family, and 6 o’clock has snuck up on me, and I have to put on Read more
