Chelsea Winter: Kiwi Chef on her new cookbook 'Nourish' and wellness retreat

Kiwi Chef Chelsea Winter is all about making a practical resource for Kiwi families, having written nearly ten cookbooks over the years. 

Her last few books have been focused on plant-based recipes, many of them dairy-free, egg-free, and refined sugar-free, but her 8th book, ‘Nourish’ is a return to the basics.  

“My books have always been created with the intention that they are to be used,” she told Mike Hosking. 

“It’s not a coffee table book.” 

‘Nourish’ is filled with recipes designed not only to taste good, but to feel good, Winter says, adaptable recipes that allow a family to thrive. 

“It’s a culmination of everything I’ve learned over the last 13 years, but also the person I’ve become.” 

“There’s a purpose behind this book now, it’s not just like, oh look, I won MasterChef, I’m going to put out a book,” she said. 

“I’m doing it to empower people in the kitchen, to uplift and inspire them, to help them nourish their families in a way that’s accessible and useful and joyful.”
