Creating the tour, “The day the earth shook”, about the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes was a journey not only down memory lane but into unchartered waters.
The first of our Christchurch food tours
There was a time when if you wanted a variety of dining choices all in the one place you were limited to the food court at the local shopping mall. You can still get some very nice offerings at the local mall and the refurbishment of the dining hall at Northlands has raised the bar to a higher level again but they pale in comparison to what we found in the central city.
EWhen it comes to cooking at home sometimes simple is best. This little gem will impress, before or after a meal or any time of the day really, after all who doesn’t like chocolate. Easy, 3-ingredient raw chocolate! Naturally sweetened, customizable, super velvety and rich, and seriously good for you.
Bring the smells and memories of overseas into your kitchen. There is a saying that “we eat with our eyes”, if that is so then it could be argued that “we remember with our sense of smell”. It is undeniable that a smell can invoke memories. The smell of a certain perfume will remind us of our favorite Aunt, and the taste and smell of different foods can take you to far away places and distant memories. So lets create an eating tour at your place!!!
It was one of those light bulb moments, where all the seemingly unconnected holiday food experiences came together and started to form an idea. Wind back a few years to a trip we took through Italy, and a beautiful little stone walled town that I can no longer remember the name of. We discovered a small pizzeria down a quaint little back street. It only had room for two small tables and sold pizza by the slice, but it was some of the best pizza we had in all of Italy.
