I am so honoured to have been approached by the Otago Daily Times and invited to start contributing to their new weekend features magazine – The Mix. The first edition came out Saturday 27 September and it’s a great combination of new columns and features, as well as some of the old favourites from the weekend Read more
I feel like I need to apologise – I usually try not to go so long without posting a recipe. I still love you guys, but it’s really hard to find time for blogging right now. I’ve been busy. (I know, we’ve all been busy.) When I look back over the past year, I realise Read more
Howdy! 2014 is flying by. Here’s what we’re up to at Nibl for the rest of the year. Private bookings for 2014 are now closed (as every remaining month has been snapped up) and we’re taking enquiries for events next year – click here to contact us about a possible private demo or workshop for you and Read more
Fortunately I am completely comfortable breaking my own rules. I set this Farmers Market challenge for myself. Originally the plant was to post a smoothie recipe each month, based around ingredients I could find at the Otago Farmers Market (or whatever farmers market I happened to be near that month). Now I’ve redefined it – it’s Read more
I am way beyond excited to introduce this new segment on my blog. I just don’t even know the word for it. Something I’m really loving about this whole blogging thing is the sense of community. We can contact pretty much anyone through social media, which means that it’s possible to start a conversation with Read more
I need your help. There’s a workshop scheduled for Sunday 7th December, but I can’t decide which topic to run. Should it be: a. Rawcous Desserts? b. Super Snacks? c. Not for me, Dairy? I know December is a long time away, but we all need to warm up those voting muscles. Help me decide Read more
Firstly, I just want to say that there’s really no need to introduce this recipe. Chips – who doesn’t feel like them in winter? These ones are so incredibly easy, and so so so delicious. It’s hard to believe that they include only teeny weeny amounts of oil and salt. Try them – you’ll see Read more
Feel like you need some inspiration for portable deliciousness? Have you tried making kale chips? You can buy them from health food shops if you’re feeling flush (I saw them a while ago – a bag for $12?! Um…no thanks). Alternatively, grab (or better still, grow) some kale and make them yourself. They’re easy – Read more
One day, my little guy (then six years old) came home from school heartbroken. Not because he’d been kicked in the face at the pool and lost one of his teeth in what looked like (his words) a “stingray attack” of blood – although that did once happen. Nor was it because he’d asked the lovely Read more
I really started to sink my teeth into this whole plant-based food lark when I realised how many delicious treats can be made without dairy or processed sugar. All it takes is learning about how to use plant ingredients differently – and to be honest, it hasn’t been too big a sacrifice to keep on Read more
