Another fond foodie childhood memory ❤️ was did you know I was brought up vegetarian for a while? Though I love all food. Mama went through a phase of healthy living as vegetarian. She made mean substitute meat too...and we'd have breakfast for dinner, dinner for breaky. She would have to wake up at 4 in the a.m most times to have breaky on the table when we would wake.

I felt like a 10 vege stir fry 😛 basically everything in the fridge that needed to be cooked asap with like garlic, red onion, capsicum, mushrooms, carrot, Maori spuds, Brussel sprouts, pineapple, radish, and advocado. Just craving vegetables lol

My nanny Saucer 🌹 she was the best at making food out of dust and very much disliked wasting kai. I loved her left over corned silverside breaky she'd makes us back when we were kids 😋

She would use leftover mashed spuds in fritters with vege. Sometimes with spaghetti and a nanny scrambled egg. I'd wake to a hot plate of her goodness. With the a.m news going on her old box t.v lol in a nice warm kitchen and the smell of burnt toast and Inka coffee ❤️

I will forever treasure her ways and use her recipes always 🤗 miss you much Nan 🕊

These 2 classy ladies are pretty much my inspiration for everything since I was born.Catering, floral art, fashion, faith just to name only a few.

My nanny Saucer taught me so much, which I thrive to keep alive in everyday life.

I miss the security of my koroua so much ❤️

Can't beat a good breaky with a view 😍 bacon egg and tomato croissants with 4 maunga in the background...the majestic Pihanga, Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu on Otaupo lakefront 👌

I have no Idea what these are but after discovering them in lake Taupo my curiosity got the best of, so I dived for a good 2 hours, took them home and steamed them in garlic butter (bit risky I know but I didn't die). They taste like p**i and cockles in one. I never knew lake's provided shell fish until recently. Does anyone have any Idea what these are?

A popular spot for locals with a homely style of Cafe food. I usually get advocado smash with a booster smoothie but thought I'd try the big brekkie toastie this morning. Delicious, affordable, and made with love. Ask for locals discounts 👌
