“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” Dr Seuss

 

I have a life-long love of all things foodie. The great thing about food love is it is never unrequited. I love a proper Italian Pizza and in return it gives me that warm, cheesy induced coma that never fails to follow another couple of slices. I was once told “a chef who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch!”

 

An English farmers daughter, I grew up on home cooked stews, hearty vegetables and my own pets (okay well not quite, but you get it…real local produce!). I then crossed the ditch and learnt to cook (and drink Guinness) in Ireland and continued travelling the world.

 

My love for travel is unquestionable! I adore going to new places, meeting new people and trying out their local recipes. Trips to India, South East Asia and South America have heightened my appreciation for REAL FOOD. 

 

Three years on the East coast of New Zealand, I have finally been able to combine my love of food, travel and with the help of dear old Darcy…retro camper vans! Ever since a little girl, I had cut outs of retro camper vans stuck on my bedroom wall, with dreams of one day having my very own. A recent trip to windy Wellington saw me returning with the perfect little truck!

 

Darcy and I will be selling delicious food from boutique burgers to Mexican chilli dishes and fair trade coffee; we’ll be keeping this gourmet joint fresh, tasty and all made from scratch.

 

Our regular haunts are Gisborne and the East Coast beaches, mainly Tolaga Bay Wharf. Or maybe even you would like to book us for a private function, maybe a wedding or a birthday. 

 

We’ll always post our location on Facebook or Instgram so keep an eye out each Monday for updates.
