Hamilton Summer Festival Sustainable Sustenance Cooking Demonstration – February 2011
I helped with the cooking demonstration and set up a stall at the Hamilton Summer Festival to sell copies of my cookbook to raise money for Christchurch.



You have had a great idea – let’s hope lots more people buy your book.
Best wishes John.
Love your ideas Nic. Please save me a copy of your cookbook. Jane
Hey Nic
Great website and great cookbook. I want two copies of your book, one for me and Lesley and one for my sister (who is a T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. cook so I hope your book will help her). It is also very generous of you to donate proceeds of the sale to the Christchurch Appeal. It is nice to know the money is going to a good cause
Best
Chris & Lesley
Wow

nic I think you did a great job for the website and every thing else
Hi Nic, I am really enjoying the recipes from the cookbook that I bought from you a couple of weeks ago. I like them all, and the instructions are very thorough. You would have to really useless not to be able to make these recipes! Looking forward to the next book.
Hi there! This books sounds great. Congratulations! Now … can you mail it to Canada? (ps did you notice that Canada even gave Ozzie a bit of a scare in the Cricket World Cup. We are a growing cricket power – you watch!) Ray
Hi Nic,
I have just watched your cooking demonstration and you really made me smile. Jamie Oliver move over I say. What a great cook you are. The kedgeree looked amazing. I previously lived in the UK and was only 20 mins away from Worcester. It is a lovely city with a river and a great cathedral. If you go near the Worcestershire Sauce works you can really smell the sauce cooking in the air. I can help you with the pronunciation of Worcester any time. Catch you soon, Nat.
Hey Nic, I am SO impressed by your website, your art work and your cookbooks!
You are so kind raising money for Christchurch, DMD and now True Colours! I’m looking forward to trying some of your recipes. Keep up with the excellent art work!
Cheers Stephen
Nico – you are AWESOME. Wonderful work!!!
I am going to make your kedgeree for tea tonight. Did you know that kedgeree started out as ‘khichari’, a humble Indian dish of rice and lentils? Thanks to the British Raj and the colonisation of India by the English, the dish was taken, adapted and turned into something more familiar to those English colonists in India, and then taken back to England where it is commonly a dish for breakfast!
Hope you do well in the finals of the GOOD MORNING contest. Yum… I’m looking forward to dinner tonight.
It was lovely to meet you on Thursday at Susie’s and I did enjoy talking about cooking with you. I haven’t tried any of your recipes yet but I am going to soon. Best of luck for Wednesday. Fingers crossed …..
Hey Nic, just cooked your Kedgeree recipe! I used rice though instead of cous cous, but it was brilliant – thank you
Hey Nicocool – enjoyed your website, would love a copy of the cookbook with the recipe for the brocolli & chicken pasta!
Best wishes

Hi Nico,
Your cook book is such a hit…I showed it to Tamara who helps with Discovery Club and she would like to buy a Cookbook 3 to take back to Canada with her! You may have to start selling them internationally soon!
Thanks so much for sharing your talent and creativity with us all.
