The Modern Mess
North Canterbury based chef, Jen Pomeroy, created the Modern Mess with one main goal in mind – to help Kiwis get confident in the kitchen and encourage them to start cooking seasonally using fresh produce.
In her 12 years working as a professional chef, she learnt a secret – good food does not come from having the fanciest ingredients or the flashiest techniques. Exceptional meals come from the freshest, seasonal produce, and can be easily made at home using simple techniques.
