A few years ago, it was just me and Fraser the pug cooking in our little old New Zealand kitchen.

No grand plan. No expectations. Just a love of food, a camera, and a little dog who was always hoping for a taste.

Last night, standing in a room filled with people who had travelled from all over to share a meal with us, I found myself feeling incredibly grateful.

It’s easy to get caught up in views, numbers, and what’s next, but creating has always been about joy for me. Food has a beautiful way of bringing people together, and nights like this are a reminder of why I started.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Mr. Morris x Man Can Cook dinner, and to the incredible team at Mr. Morris for making it all possible.

My heart is very full today ❤️

Sunday mornings at our place 🥞🤎
Chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes, coffee, and a little scoop of COLLAGEN+ mixed into the batter.

I’ve been trying to find more everyday ways to use it outside of coffee, and honestly this felt perfect for a slow cozy weekend morning.

Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes

Ingredients

250g plain flour
80g caster sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
250g buttermilk
70g unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 scoops Everyday Dose COLLAGEN+
150g chocolate chips

To Serve

Salted butter
Maple syrup
Extra chocolate chips
Method

In a bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla. Stir through the COLLAGEN+ until smooth.

Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold together until just combined. Don’t overmix — lumps are good. Fold through chocolate chips.

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes for extra fluffy pancakes.
Cook pancakes in a buttered non-stick pan over medium-low heat until golden on both sides.

Stack them high with salted butter and maple syrup and enjoy 🙌🏽
