I have always been passionate about food and community. I studied culinary management to broaden my skills and knowledge in all things cuisine and hospitality and I relish an opportunity to create in the kitchen. I love to develop recipes with wholefoods that are approachable, authentic and packed with flavour. Bringing people together around the table is important to me and I believe food is the greatest and most accessible tool for generosity and hospitality.

basil pesto dip

No need to buy dip - make your own! 

Fresh pesto has to be one of the most well-loved sauces in the world. We love it mixed through pasta or with chicken or pizzas, but it also makes one of the most tasty dips to eat with fresh vegetables or flatbread. 

Fresh is always best in our opinion and making dips in the Vibe Blender is not only really easy but it takes next to no time, so you don’t need to be caught out with nothing to serve when unexpected guests pop in!
