Nicola Galloway trained chef and dip. nutrition

Nicola Galloway is a trained chef with a diploma in natural nutrition (Canada) who is passionate about the benefits of healthy and flavoursome food.

Nicola is the author of three recipe books, Alive - a cookbook focusing on allergy sensitive recipes (Alive Foods, 2004); Cooking for your Child (CPP, 2006) and the recently released Feeding Little Tummies – healthy recipes from first foods to toddler meals (CPP, 2011). She also regularly contributes articles and recipes to parenting magazines and other publications.

Nicola draws on her experience working as a live-in nanny while travelling overseas and more recently cooking for her own daughter to write Feeding Little Tummies (read the foreword). For the past 8 years she has run her own business as a nutirition and healthy cooking educator including cooking classes, healthy eating seminars, nutrition consulting, and supermarket tours.

Nicola's mission in life is to inspire others to make healthy food choices and enjoy the art of cooking. She is particularly passionate about supporting local organic growers and is the co-owner of Fresh2U Organic Food Delivery. Working together with certified organic grower Wolfgang Mann, they deliver weekly boxes of freshly harvested produce around the top of the south island.

Nicola lives in Nelson, New Zealand with her family where she makes the most of the high sunshine hours with a large organic garden and wide selection of fruit trees. To compliment her garden harvest she likes to buy direct from the growers and producers at the local farmers markets. She includes her daughter on these food excursions as she wants her children to know that their food comes from a real person rather than a supermarket shelf.
