We moved to New Zealand about four months ago from Calgary, Canada. It's just the two of us, both vegetarians. I knew next to nothing about gardening when I started, and through trial and error (it's very forgiving here so not so much error, thankfully) I've learned so much in these months. The purpose of this blog is to publish recipes for those wanting to start their own exercise in sustainability.
We are currently in the North Island of New Zealand and hope to get a lifestyle block of rural land to start a proper organic garden. For now, we're living in town on a 1/8 acre block. We visit the farmers' market every week (sometimes twice!) in an effort to try to eat as locally or homegrown as possible. Coming from Canada, where the farmers market is open year-round but most produce is imported, it's a wonderful feeling to grow your own noms.
This is mostly just a food blog and collection of recipes. There aren't any rules involved, just a personal decision to start eating more locally. Feel free to take these recipes, use them, pass them on, do whatever with them. Tell me about your own results in the comments! :)
It shows that even someone with little to no gardening knowledge can get out there and start living (semi-)sustainably!
