What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Te Koru Kai

Claire from Masterton District

What is Te Koru Kai?

Te Koru Kai is a food scrap exchange initiative created to support our Eastside whānau and whenua. Here's how it works:

➡️ You provide us with your food scraps.
➡️ In return, we give you fresh eggs.
➡️ Eventually, this will expand to include vegetables and meat!

This is a kaupapa designed specifically for the Eastside community to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and strengthen connections.

At the moment, Te Koru Kai is full, but I’ve started a waiting list. If you’d like to join, I can add your name, and you’ll be contacted when spaces open up.
Phone 0220805031 . You can find me on FB Claire Star
