What – posting two recipes within a week? What am I thinking? What I’m thinking is this. You’ll only get a chance to make this smoothie if I post it quick-smart – there were apricots at the Otago Farmers Market last weekend, but I assume they’ll be taking a bit of a market holiday Read more
I don’t know why, but I’d far prefer to make a salad by grating the ingredients than chopping them. I can’t explain it – it’s no less work! I make seasonal variations of this one all the time and had never thought of adding it to the website, until last weekend’s workshop when someone asked Read more
Yes that’s right, we’re heading for the bright lights of Riverton in just over a week! We are thrilled to be delivering a workshop at this year’s Riverton Heritage Harvest Festival. You can see the workshop programme here; there’s a whole range of great topics. You could pretty much organise your entire gastronomical life Read more
I have to say, I love this Nibl business. Anyone who comes to a Nibl event can testify to that. It is amazing to start something from nothing, and have people want to be part of it. It blows my mind. When people come back to a second or third workshop, or stop me Read more
Oh wow, chewing the fat with Jim Mora on Radio NZ National does crrraaaaazzzzzyyyy things to the website viewing stats! How exciting – welcome if you’ve never been here before.

When I put this selection of photos together, I suddenly understood why the last year has passed in a total blur to me. There’s a recipe coming soon, I promise – I just need the opportunity to take a photo Read more
Coming up next is the Lunchbox Envy Demo, next Wednesday 12th February, 7.00 – 8.30pm at Taste Nature ($35pp). As usual, I’m struggling to decide what to include – so many delicious recipes to choose from! (Many of my best recipes don’t show up on the blog; I save them for workshops/demos and for the Read more
Can you believe we’re into February already? Shocking. Better get this Nibl show on the road again. We had a wonderful Summer Extrawdinary Food Workshop last Sunday – lots of fun for all involved, particularly me! Everyone seemed to have a great time – I’ll be updating the feedback page soon and incorporating some Read more
