Andrea's Kitchen Getting back to basics. Creating great food with natural ingredients. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free

I started Andrea's Kitchen in 2015 to support the work I was doing with a local charity which focused on helping the homeless. I provided lunch packs, and contributed to the Tuesday lunch and Sunday night meals. I later added providing food and drinks to a local primary school breakfast programme one morning a week. That all came to a halt after a fall in May 2018 resulted in a concussion. I had t

o stop making and selling my products and all my volunteer work. It was 18 months before I was not having to deal with dizziness, headaches, nausea, balance issues, sensitivity to light and noise on a daily basis. The charity I was working with no longer exists and I have not been able to face the noise issues present with a hall full of children, so I have not gone back to that either. I am not currently selling my products at a farmers market, I have some available on my website. Almost 2 years ago I responded to a request to donate baking for an event run by Hagar NZ. Since then, I have been providing food, free of charge, for meetings or events with volunteers. I have also been involved in several of their fundraising groups. Now, in 2021, I am looking forward to changing my volunteer focus slightly, by donating 20% from the sale of every cookie I sell from here on out. I will be offering different types of cookies on my website so please check back regularly.

Modern Nature. Cookies for a local event 😊 I have used the Monat range of haircare products for a year or so and I love them. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to create some cookies for them. Haven't heard of Monat? My niece can help you learn about their range of hair and skin care.

Our Story

As someone who has several food allergies and intolerances, when I was looking to get back into business, this time around, I wanted to make food I could eat. I believe my food can be enjoyed by EVERYONE, but for people that have allergies/intolerances, or have made lifestyle changes, then my products will be of particular benefit. There is NO Gluten, Grains, Dairy, Soy, Peanut or Refined Sugar in my products. Most of my products are also Egg Free, the only products with egg in are my Banana Muffins and Almond Meal Crackers. A lot of my products do have nuts and seeds in them. Nuts and Seeds contain phytic acid. Phytic Acid can cause digestive issues in people, and it also prevents your body from absorbing the nutrients and enzymes in the food. 'Activating' nuts and seeds is the process of soaking the nuts and seeds that removes the phytic acid. With the exception of my Almond Meal Crackers and Banana Muffins (I use ground almonds for both these products), I use activated nuts and seeds in my products. I started Andrea's Kitchen as a means to fund my voluntary work with Help for the Homeless, Christchurch. I regularly cook meals and provide takeaway packs for Help for the Homeless, Christchurch and your support and sales will help me to continue to do this work. I have recently started as a volunteer with La Vida Youth Trust, helping with serving breakfast to primary school children before school. I am providing Bacon, Cheese & Egg Toasted Sandwiches and Protein Drinks on the days that I volunteer - also funded by Andrea's Kitchen. The lovely Fiona Deehan from My Fit Foodie Family Life, has started a closed Facebook Group for people that would like to help me with my volunteer work. Ask to join Help Andrea, Help Others if you would like to offer practical help.
