Hello my lovelies! It’s a lot to take in. I never thought a crisis would come where already being a bit mad would be a competitive advantage. Anxiety, depression and a sense of isolation are not new companions for me. But they may be for you. NZ, and a number of other places are in lockdown. This is going to…
Hello my lovelies! I know it’s been quiet around here for the last few weeks. I’ve started a new job and it always takes a bit of energy to get settled in and my brain has been full. I’m working four days a week so there will be time for recipes again soon. I’ve also begun working on some digital…
Hello my lovelies! I know there’s been a bit of radio silence around here lately. I’ve been busy doing a lot of thinking and talking to my loved ones and making some decisions.
Hello my lovelies! It’s been a while since we chatted. 2019 has kicked off with a hiss and a roar. I have a lot of new projects I want to work on. And I’ve been making some changes in my life for the better. There’s a lot going on and I’m still finding my feet with creativity this year. To…
Hello my lovelies! Happy New Year. As we stare into the void of a new year it’s a good time to look back at the year that was. There were dark moments. But there was a lot of good too. NZ voted ‘kindness’ it’s word of the year. More people than ever before reached out to help in their communities.…
Hello my lovelies! I’ve been having the most wonderful time in Japan. There is so much to love. We packed as much as we could into 7 days in Tokyo. And we packed in a lot of snacks. Especially Kitkats. And pastries. We saw shrines. We shopped. We pedalled a swan-shaped boat around a pond. We took the cleanest, most…
Hello my lovelies! Recipes will be back from next week. I’ve got a collection of awesome stuff up my sleeves to share with you all. It was a good break. I have recovered from my strained jaw. I spent some time at my parents’ making bread and generally lying around. The sun has come out and my plants are getting…
Hello my lovelies! I mentioned in my last few posts that I’ve been a bit worn out and that I’ve had a few bits of medical stuff going on. I’ve been in the wars. I have been having a lot of trouble with my teeth and jaw. I have a small operation on my mouth coming up soon. And my…
Hello my lovelies! I know I’ve been a bit busy and posting fewer recipes than I’d like lately but there’s a good reason. Several months ago I was delighted when one of my favourite brands approached me to work together. I’ve been banging on about Westgold butter for a while so working with a brand that I genuinely already like…
Hello my lovelies! I had a fabulous time this week co-hosting a sourdough and craft chocolate tasting with my good friend Luke from the Chocolate Bar. We have collaborated on a few things lately and this was an awesome evening. Apart from a few nerves on the day I hadn’t been anxious or struggling in the lead up which was…
