A note to you Kate Preece EDITOR Awaken. It’s a powerful word. It suggests not only new beginnings but realisations, becoming aware of what’s going on around us. ‘Awakening’ is the driver behind this edition’s content as we continue to adjust to our new reality. Full immersion into the New Zealand landscape is becoming an increasingly popular way to reset your mind, and die-hard hikers will be particularly miffed their secrets are out. The checklist to get started really isn’t as intimidating as one might think. (Trust me, I’m a convert.) Let us show you the way. Connecting to nature and its extraordinary power is seeing a hike in essential oil sales too. Shelley Robinson often has her diffuser puffing away as she types and, having spoken to some local experts, is now honing her blends like a pro. Nostalgia was what it was all about when we came up with our ‘recipes reinvented’ spread. I was constantly on the phone to Mum as I baked the fudge cake slice, not only asking advice, but talking about Nana’s version. Up until now, I had no idea they both used the same recipe. Nana always iced hers and Mum obliterated the biscuits in the kitchen whizz. (It took me so long with the rolling pin, I’ll follow suit next time!) Realising three generations had followed the same steps, in different kitchens over different times, was surprisingly sentimental. Food stirs the mind in a myriad of ways.
