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!

Cosy Coconut, Red Lentil & Veggie Kitchari

I have had this kitchari on a weekly repeat this Winter, it’s cosy, delicious and very week night friendly. Kitchari is a gently spiced combination dal or lentils and rice cooked together in one pot.
