Our Wellness Kitchen was very busy today - prep in progress for the upcoming graduation celebration. This is truly G's labour of love. He spent the day crafting fresh sourdough pappardelle; a little tougher to work with than regular pasta, but absolutely worth every minute.

Because itโ€™s gentler on digestion and richer in nutrients - exactly the way we like it.

Creating wholesome food for kids stepping into their next chapter feels extra special. Hereโ€™s to nourishing their bodies as they celebrate this beautiful milestone.

Thank you Rachel Brown-Coles for the sourdough inspiration!

A positive update from R - I am delighted to be back on my feet (with a grateful heart & gentle steps).

The past eight months have taken us on an unexpected journey. After my fall and surgery, our cooking classes and community events had to pause while I focused on healing. Itโ€™s been a period of rest, rebuilding, and deep appreciation for the support around us.

Iโ€™m so grateful to share that Iโ€™m back on my feet again, thanks in large part to Gโ€™s steady, healing, and nourishing support throughout this recovery.

Weโ€™re also thrilled to say that weโ€™re easing back into what we love - this week, weโ€™re hosting a special cooking experience for a family celebrating a birthday. Isn't it a beautiful way for my return to the kitchen!

As we look toward the new year, weโ€™ll be releasing details of our upcoming holistic cooking classes and events soon. Weโ€™ll be adding offerings progressively so I can continue healing with care, but weโ€™re excited to reconnect and create with you all again.

If youโ€™re hoping to book something sooner, we do have limited availability for private bookings in December.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support. Our community means the world to us, and we canโ€™t wait for whatโ€™s ahead.

Todayโ€™s class with Zak was extra special and bittersweet as it was our final session for the year.

We went full Mexican, and Zak absolutely shone! Together we made blue corn tortillas completely from scratch, working our way down a little production line we set up across the kitchen. He pressed, flipped, and passed it on to me to cook - both of us celebrating the joy of seeing each tortilla puff up. We paired them with fresh guacamole, chicken tinga, and venison birria; and Zak enjoyed the feast just as much as the cooking (maybe even more!).

And because Zak was craving it, we revisited a favourite from earlier in the year: homemade flatbread. He remembered every step, and the very herby garlic butter had the whole kitchen smelling incredible.

What made today truly moving was Zak arriving with a handmade thank you card; a beautifully drawn picture of Arlo, our dog. Over the past few months, our fortnightly classes have become about so much more than food. Weโ€™ve talked about life, culture, flavours, big ideas, and small joysโ€ฆ and a bond has grown naturally through each meal we created together.

Zak told me heโ€™s loved exploring dishes from all different cultures, and Iโ€™m so proud of how far heโ€™s come in skills, confidence, curiosity, and joy.

Zak Cowell We look forward to a few more sessions in the new year - cooking, learning, laughingโ€ฆ and nourishing more than just the body.

PS: It is amazing that we managed to get a photo of me with Zak, a bit of Rama in the mirror reflection and a bit of Arlo - a nice touch of togetherness!

Feeling incredibly grateful and honoured to be featured in the latest issue of Franklin Magazine.

The article beautifully highlights my passion for creating a holistic health oasis here in Waiuku , from the food garden that nourishes both body and spirit, to the kitchen where I craft meals designed to support wellness, balance, and joy.

My journey has taken me across the world, but nothing compares to the privilege of nourishing my local community through food, education, and connection.

Thank you to Franklin Magazine for sharing my story, and to everyone who continues to trust me with their wellbeing.

Hereโ€™s to growing, giving, and nourishing........together.

You can read the magazine via link below - my feature is from pages 56 to 61.

Let Food Be Thy Medicine

It all started a few years ago, when our much-loved niece was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour. A top-notch team of specialists worked hard to get rid of the cancer. They found it hard to believe that food had a role to play in this fight for life. But, we did. Our nourishing food, packed with cancer fighting nutrients was initially designed to support her through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, But, we soon realised that they had a greater role to play in remission! A simple lesson, well learnt on this journey โ€“ the quality of food you eat sustains quality of life! Very soon, we found ourselves helping others who were fighting cancer and other diseases, people who were too weak to cook or others who just wanted to eat healthy and didnโ€™t know where to start. Reaching out and helping those we could soon became a passion - Nourish was born out of this passion to heal and nurture back to health through food. This is our way of giving back the gift of life we had been so fortunate to receive. We believe Hippocrates really knew what he was talking about when he said, โ€œLet food be thy medicineโ€ฆโ€. We couldnโ€™t agree more.
