Food |
In 2009, at six months of age, our beautiful daughter stopped thriving and developed skin and stomach issues leading to sleepless nights and much heartache. After two years of specialists, medications and every cream you could imagine, we adjusted to a plant-based lifestyle. After three weeks, most of her symptoms vanished, and our little girl is now a thriving athletic teen who loves surfing and rep football. During my 20+ year culinary journey as a chef, I have seen first-hand the positive impact increasing our veggie intake has had on our health, from struggling through the day to having more energy for my children and work, and I want to share that with everyone. My promise is real food, lovingly crafted into an easy and delicious meal base, no fillers, no preservatives, no nasties, from our family's kitchen to yours. If we wouldn’t feed it to our family we wouldn’t expect you to feed it to yours, no compromise. |

Apostle Hot Sauce
 |
Food & Beverage |
Apostle is a small team of three, Mat, Lydia and their dog Ben. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an attempt to get to know their community better, they started selling them at their local market in Paekākāriki. With an overwhelmingly positive response, they decided to do more. With Lydia’s background in graphic design and their shared love of great food, they thought this would be a wonderful way to utilise their individual skills and passions to create something beautiful together. They draw inspiration for their flavours from the diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa, blending the best of local flavours to make every dish enjoyable. Heavily inspired by Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish Illuminated Manuscripts and Tarot de Marseilles, each bottle and its contents are considered a work of art, a gift from their hearts to your plate. |
