5 Food Questions with Nicola Galloway
Nicola Galloway is a trained chef, nutritionist, author of three cookbooks, and founder of the lovely food blog, Homegrown Kitchen. Her blog is jam packed with wholesome and seasonal recipes, with the ingredients quite often grown in her garden. The way Nicola embraces the best of the simple life, which was influenced by her upbringing, really makes me question the urbanite in me and suddenly I’m dreaming of my very own veggie patch, hens and fruit trees. She has also just released a 2015 seasonal recipe calendar, which I can’t wait to get my hands on! If you’re not yet a reader of Homegrown Kitchen, make sure you pop over to discover it for yourself and click on the motion video on her about page to get the perfect picture of what it’s all about. Today it is with great pleasure that I have Nicola as my guest, answering my 5 food questions.
5 Food Questions with Kelly Gibney

Today, please welcome Kelly Gibney of the Kiwi food blog, Bonnie Delicious as my 5 Food Questions guest. I totally admire Kelly’s approach to food, she is a lover and advocate of whole food and shares delicious and (mostly) guilt free recipes that she’s created with her readers. While that’s her love and main aim, she is by no means rigid with her approach and her love of good food doesn’t stop her from exploring all of the tastes on offer from time to time. I think she’s hit a nice balance and secretly wish that I could do the same. Kelly has worked most of her adult life internationally in the food industry; she describes this as her “seedbed for her food passion”. Today, alongside looking after her young daughter and authoring the Bonnie Delicious blog, she organises feasts at The Golden Dawn, which is a bit of an institution here in Auckland and has recently opened a seasonal coffee shop repurposed from a shipping container. In the next couple of weeks Kelly, along with another foodie, Delaney Mes from Heartbreak Pie, will be cooking up something really special for Auckland’s very first Kinfolk Meal at the beautiful Indie Home Collective, which was sold out, mind you within hours of going live.
5 Food Questions with Sarah Tuck
Let me introduce you to Sarah; a Kiwi who writes a brilliant food blog, From The Kitchen. It’s a fairly recent discovery that I was so happy when I did. You know the ones, every image pin worthy, and loads of delicious and mostly uncomplicated looking recipes. Sarah’s day job is that of a recipe developer, food stylist and photographer so you can imagine what her readers are in for. Coupled with that is a friendly writing voice that you can’t help smile while reading – you’ll get an idea about what I mean with her answers below. Really, if you haven’t yet met the blog, “In The Kitchen”, make sure you pop over to say hi, you won’t be disappointed! It’s without saying that I’m so pleased to have Sarah here today to answer my 5 Food Questions!
5 Food Questions with Eleanor Ozich

If you’ve ever found yourself at the Petite Kitchen blog, more than likely you would have been seduced by the beautiful imagery and message that Eleanor has for her readers, to enjoy clean simple food and to get lost for the afternoon in your kitchen. You really do feel like doing just that. This is no ordinary blog, it’s something that was born out of the love for her daughter whom suffered from extreme and what was thought to be incurable eczema and mood swings. On the advice of her naturopath, Eleanor eliminated sugar, grains, additives and preservatives from her family’s diet and now her daughter’s behavioral problems and eczema is a thing of the past.
5 Food Questions with Des Harris
To kick off my 5 Food Questions series for this year, I thought who better to have answer them than Des Harris, of Clooney restaurant. Des has just recently been awarded Chef of the Year by Cuisine NZ Good Food Awards, and Clooney, which is a bit of an establishment here in Auckland, is one of only two restaurants that holds three hats.
