It was a real privilege to welcome 14 participants from Deaf Aotearoa, together with two NZSL interpreters, for our Steady Energy cooking class at Auckland Deaf Society.

The humour began almost immediately. When we introduced G as a professional chef with more than 40 years’ experience working around the world, the questions came quickly: “Is he a New Zealand MasterChef?”

G replied, “I’ll be your MasterChef for the afternoon!” 😊

The class explored how fibre, protein, quality carbohydrates and healthy fats can work together to support blood sugar metabolism, satisfaction and steadier energy.

We made Chia Bircher Muesli with berry chia jam, Indian mung bean pancakes with turmeric coconut chutney and finished with the grand finale: creating individual Steady Energy Mexican bowls. Every bowl was unique, colourful and absolutely beautiful.

We adapted the class with a slower pace, clear visual demonstrations, written information, hands-on interaction and plenty of pauses for interpretation.

What brought the afternoon to life was the warmth, engagement, personality and humour in the room. We also came away with enormous appreciation for the patience, concentration and effort required of the interpreters. Every question, conversation and small interaction needed to be interpreted and they made it all flow so naturally.

Thank you to Deaf Aotearoa for trusting us with this experience, and to everyone who participated so enthusiastically. We learnt a great deal from you too.

“I learnt how to create a steady energy bowl full of flavour, fibre and nutrition.”

Never say never to another class together!

When we design a cooking class, the menu on paper is only the beginning.

Then G gets into the kitchen and starts cooking, testing and tasting and sometimes, we decide a recipe is simply not good enough for you. So, back to the kitchen we go!

Two items on our Not So Sweet menu have had a rethink, and we’re very happy with their replacements:

Almond, Banana & Date Cake: moist and satisfying, with natural sweetness from whole fruits.

Anti-inflammatory Seed Crackers with Horopito Cashew Cheese: a wholesome pairing packed with texture and flavour.

All the recipes for the class have now passed the G taste test!

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: we now have one place available for this Saturday’s class.
If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this one might be yours.

Zak had been craving macaroni cheese, so he asked G if they could make it in this class. He arrived absolutely bursting with excitement and shared that the only other time he had made it was with his mom.

It felt incredibly special to help Zak recreate such a meaningful memory and, of course, enjoy a delicious bowl of homemade macaroni cheese! 🧀💛

Zak Cowell also mentioned that his mom is unwell, so we’re sending her lots of love and wishing her a very speedy recovery.

The photo may not be our finest work, but the moment certainly was.😁

Over the past week, members of our community have recommended Nourish for recovery meals and special celebrations and we’re incredibly grateful.

As a small business focused on wellness through food, we choose to rely on word of mouth rather than traditional marketing. We believe our work should speak louder than any advertisement ever could.

Every recommendation helps us continue doing what we love most: creating nourishing food that supports wellbeing, brings people together, and becomes part of treasured memories.

To our wonderful Waiuku and Franklin community: thank you for believing in us, sharing our name, and supporting what we do. It means more than you know.

With gratitude,
The Nourish team

And that's a wrap for WellFed this week.

One of our orders was slightly different this week - we are delivering a selection of Low FODMAP meals to a local couple who haven’t been feeling well. Their daughter, who lives overseas, reached out after members of our wonderful community recommended us and we feel truly blessed to be trusted with their care.

These meals are heading out with our most sincere wishes for comfort, nourishment and a speedy recovery.

If you or someone you love could use the support of personalised recovery meals, please get in touch.
