Welcome to my food blog! I live in Wellington, New Zealand. I first developed a taste for cooking as a young child and have had my nose buried in cookery books ever since. I have wonderful memories of making Pikelets on rainy days from New Zealand’s Edmonds Cookery Book where the well-known slogan “sure to rise” was just another household name.
As well as a keen and at times overly ambitious baker and self-proclaimed food critic, I am passionate about interior design*, branding*, photography*, architecture*, and history. I enjoy browsing through cookery books, scrolling food blogs and scouring weekly newspapers. It’s taken some time to create a blog, a place to share all of my favourite recipes and possibly even a space to discover new ones! I hope you enjoy After Taste and my ingredient-obsessed blathering.

Hi, great blog – I love your kiwi classics and feel like we might have a few of the same recipe books, I’m actually baking a Jo Seagar cake as I write this. I look forward to returning.
Thanks so much! I love kiwi classics and they don’t get that much attention really. It is especially cool sharing with them with the rest of the world. Plenty more to come!
Thanks for visiting.
