EAT POSITIVE
Kia ora whānau,
Positive eating is about celebrating the food and flavours that make us feel good. Food is meant to be enjoyed - good vibes in the kitchen and on your plate equals good vibes in your mind + body.
There are so many contradictory messages of what you should or shouldn’t eat - and I say ignore those critics! Giving time and attention to the food we eat and finding the joy within is like giving ourselves an edible hug.
It’s time to have fun with flavours, try new things, eat seasonally, cook mindfully, and share our food with others - that’s what ‘healthy’ eating is all about!
I’m Alby. Welcome to my kitchen.
Handsome cakes for every occasion.
