Who:
Kia ora, I’m Mara.
I’m a plant-based chef, gardener and food educator. I’m here to help people grow, cook and share good food in ways that are healthy, local and ethical.
Whether it’s in the kitchen, the garden or the community. My work is all about making food that nourishes people and the planet.
What:
Private Chef & Catering
Seasonal, plant-based menus for events, retreats and special occasions.
Workshops & Education
Hands-on cooking classes, food resilience advice and community projects.
Edible Garden Design
Garden install and grow-your-own food guidance.
Why:
For me food isn’t just what’s on the plate. It’s the whole journey from seed to harvest, to a shared meal.
I weave those threads together so more people can enjoy fresh local kai, feel confident growing and cooking their own.
