Here are some favourite recipes that I love coming back to...
I love to use fruits and vegetables that are in season, what's growing in the garden or in abundance in the wild. When we look to the seasons, I believe we can nourish ourselves and our friends and whanau in the most creative, delicious and nourishing ways. I wish you lots of fun creating in the kitchen!

This is one of my favourite ways to enjoy asparagus at the moment and if you have to take a plate to share, this is a lovely dish to take along to a picnic or bring a plate situations!
Tune into Spring
Tena Koutou Beautiful Friends!! Spring is in the air and it's so exciting to see the transition to longer days and warmer weather. It’s an ideal time to focus on building strong digestion, a resilient microbiome and adapting your diet to the new season.
Green Juice & the Stunning Shades of Spring & Summer
I love the way greens come into abundance in the springtime and the acid greens that you see in the new buds and leaves that are about to unfurl. This flavoursome green juice utilises the abundance of greens that are available at the moment and enkindles the digestive fire with a touch of ginger.
Dukkah. A perfect Christmas gift and ingredient for an overnight nature mission.
Here is a wonderfully EASY, delicious recipe for Dukkah. It just pops with festivity because of the vibrant flower petals. I think a big batch of this will have you covered for some yummy edible Christmas gifts and will look so lovely in a pretty glass jar.
Herbal Spring Risotto with Asparagus, Lemon Zest & Peas
If you love new seasons asparagus, then you should definitely celebrate with this lovely spring risotto. This risotto to me is a celebration of all things spring - koanga in te reo maori.
Gluten Free Sunflower, Pumpkin, Chia, Hemp & Linseed Sourdough
I have made this recipe once a week for a couple of years and thought it couldn’t get better. However, I forgot the bread in a bowl overnight and then thought I would just pop it in some tins and hope for the best. And it was the best.
Epic Lemon & Poppyseed Cake (Gluten Free)
This is the most deliciously perfect citrusy lemon poppyseed cake. It’s wonderfully zesty and also while being an almond flour based cake it has a touch of rice and tapioca flour to lighten it up.
