I am an American citizen living in New Zealand posting family favourite recipes and newly discovered Kiwi ones. Just sharing good stuff I've learned and collected over time. Cheers and kia ora! | WELCOME TO MY KITCHEN! Kia ora and welcome to my kitchen. My food exploration journey began in 2005 but still sometimes seems like yesterday. I moved overseas from Vancouver (not B.C.), Washington (not D.C.) as a solo mum working full-time and trying to come up with healthy options that I knew I could afford, that my child would eat, and that I could enjoy as well. Well, now we live in beautiful Aotearoa, I am married to a wonderful man and, my daughter is already 10 years old. We have access to some of the nicest meat and produce in the world - FRESH! Overall, New Zealand lacks the convenience-based grocery super-mart, super-sized culinary options that we were used to in the States. Instead, our frozen packages, tin cans, and boxed instant meals are replaced with a plethora of nature's bounty. Now the challenge...what to do with all of this fresh stuff?! Sounds great, but how do you cook a kumara or a kamo kamo (a.k.a. kumi kumi)??? Do people really eat pumpkins, and why are they white/greyish and not orange??? Well, come with me and learn how Kiwis fix their tucker, and ENJOY! This is where I post my family's favourite recipes (Kiwi, American and everything in between). Your comments, questions and/or suggestions are most welcome, so please feel free to leave your mark or contact me. So let's get cooking!
