Hi, I'm Jo. I live in Wellington New Zealand, the most beautiful little capital in the world... I'm a Data Analyst and Workflow Co-ordinator by day, and a food blogger and health enthusiast by night.... This is a picture from one of the meeting rooms in my office..... What a view huh.....
The main purpose of this blog is to be a central repository for all my recipes. It replaces my old arch lever file of recipes, with the added bonus of being able to multi-categorise!
I am passionate about nutrition. I regularly read books about nutrition, attend seminars on health topics, and am beginning to study nutrition. My food philosophy is to eat food that is: Natural, wholesome, nutritious, fresh, seasonal, organic or local / wild. My food pyramid looks a bit like this.
I also strive for a balanced lifestyle, with moderate exercise, plenty of time in the outdoors, yoga, and relaxation.... In my view, moderation is key....
Why?
I'm not 100% sure why I'm so passionate about balance, moderation, and nutrition, but being an Analyst, and having probably over analysed it, it's possibly influenced by:
- My mother dying at the age of 37 from cancer
- Both grandmothers dying before their time
- A father who's always been disciplined about health and fitness
- My cousin also being passionate about nutrition ;-)
- Seeing the dangerous effects of stress on my body

I hope you enjoy my blog. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, I'd love to hear from you.
