Nicola Galloway chef and nutrition consultant

Nicola Galloway is a trained chef with a diploma in nutrition (Canada) who is passionate about the benefits of healthy and flavoursome food. Her passion for the culinary arts began stirring at a young age in her Nanna's kitchen with Thursday afternoon cooking sessions. Raised by two doctors, her focus on health was never far behind her love for creating good food.

Nicola is the author of two recipe books Alive: Food for Health and Vitality, a cookbook focusing on allergy sensitive recipes and Cooking for your Child – healthy recipes from first foods to school lunches. Last year she edited and project managed the creation of the cookbook, Memories from my Kitchen, to raise funds for the Nelson Region Hospice Trust. Nicola regularly contributes articles and recipes to a number of publications, including Nelson Marlborough's Lifestyle magazine Wild Tomato and the online directory Organic Direct.

Always eager to share her knowledge, Nicola frequently leads nutrition seminars, cooking demonstrations and workshops to a wide range of events, businesses and organizations. She tutors the Lifestyle and Nutrition course at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology and is changing the way people shop with her popular Supermarket Tours.

Nicola's mission in life is to inspire others to make quality food choices and enjoy the art of cooking. Her food philosophy is one of enjoyment and balance, 'choose quality foods and do not deny oneself' is her motto. She is particularly passionate about eating local and with the changing seasons.
