Nicola Galloway chef and nutrition consultant

Nicola Galloway is a trained chef with a diploma in natural 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 Nana'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 (2004), a cookbook focusing on allergy sensitive recipes; and Cooking for your Child – healthy recipes from first foods to school lunches. Nicola regularly contributes articles and recipes to a number of publications, including a monthly local food column in Nelson Marlborough's Wild Tomato magazine.

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 goodness 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. Though relatively new to gardening she loves sharing her garden experiences. Her emphasis in the garden is keeping it simple and easy, leaving the more specialized produce to the experienced organic growers.

"Thank-you Nicola for the course – it has changed my ideas and what we do for the whole family. I am loving the benefits of eating well - boy do I feel better, especially without the hungry low dips during the day - so thank you again!"
