Me, a female holding homegrown oyster mushrooms in my hands

Hey, I'm Camilla

a qualified chef, hunter gatherer and keen food grower who loves to fish. I started my food blog as a platform to share my recipes and tips on how to become more food self sufficient.

I spent many years cooking food in fancy restaurants but my favorite food that I am the most proud of is the food that I cook at my homestead in rural New Zealand from homegrown or raised, hunted, gathered or caught ingredients.

My recipes are fresh, seasonal, farmhouse style home cooking.

Follow me on facebook and Instagram for new recipes and updates.
