I’m loving Nadia Lim’s healthy food column in Sunday magazine! This week she talked about making nut milk – which reminded me that, although I wrote about this for the Otago Daily Times last year, I’d never posted it here. For those of you who missed it, here goes…. When I run Nibl plant-based food Read more
I consider myself pretty lucky, in a number of ways. Here are three of them: 1. At my high school, in the 1980s (when, incidentally, Kylie Minogue sang about the title of this post – besides the date caramel sauce bit), there was an elective class on learning to juggle. I took it, and practised Read more
Here it is – one of my all-time favourite recipes for when I want to have a little bite of something indulgent. When I say little, I do mean little – this stuff is INTENSELY delicious and quite satisfying to eat – so whatever you do, don’t cut it into ginormous squares like you see Read more
This is what I was making this time last year. So excited that it’s now the perfect time to make it again. Right now, peaches are goooood. Mangoes are goooood. This custard is all that and more. It’s a big hit with kids and I know a few adults who are very fond of it Read more
If you’re getting back into the swing of things after a break, it can take some time. I tell you, I’m usually a morning person but after weeks of sleeping in, I am not a happy camper now that I’m waking to an alarm again. And if you’ve over-indulged over the holiday, some of those Read more
Hello there! I hope 2015 is off to a great start for you. I was lucky enough to have a lovely long holiday, chilling in the Central Otago sun, and I have to say it was the best run of blue skies and sunny days that I’d seen in a long, long time. All of Read more
Why in tarnation, I hear you asking, would we want a Christmas smoothie? I can think of at least 3 reasons: 1. If you have to take something to a fancy-pants party, you can be reasonably confident that no one else is going to turn up with these (unless, of course, someone at the party Read more
Howdy! I’ve been having a very cool week. Three reasons: 1. Because I spent last Saturday morning being the market chef at the Otago Farmers Market, and I had an absolute ball! Y’all know that I love the market, so it meant a huge amount to actually be in the kitchen there. The food went Read more
The 2015 Seasons’ Eatings calendar is now available. I’m so proud of this baby! A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into its creation, and I’m thrilled with the end product. So it’s particularly exciting that the first print run sold out before it even arrived, and now the second print run has also been Read more
I’m on a bit of a buzz, having just had a great Extrawdinary Food workshop in Auckland last night – the first one in the North Island. Couldn’t bring my usual entourage of wonderful helpers (did find some great new Auckland ones!), but I did bring the vitamix. (That thing weighs about 6kg, in case Read more
