Where do we draw the line with coffee trends?! Jalapeños, orange juice, olive oil, hot sauce... I just saw a video this morning on Parmesan cheese in coffee?! Come onnnn. We want the channel growths, but at what cost? What a time to be alive in the world of coffee content. Social media can be a real b when you’re trying to keep up with the tr...

A love story about cooking, spearfishing, building a better life, and travelling - all while being in a travelling kitchen. It's 2023, toxic kitchen vibes are out. Being drunk on a chartered yacht and yelling at your chef to bake you a cake - out. Taking a phone call before walking into a cafe and ignoring your barista - bye bye.

The Daily Routine | Albert Yen
September 29, 2022 22:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBAlbert has a severe love for coffee which has led him to open up a coffee shop : Daily Daily. I don't even like calling it a 'coffee shop' because the name alone feels unjust. Walking into Daily Daily, you feel an instant wave of tranquility wash over you. It's one of the few places in Auckland that prides themselves on bringing in imported coffee from all over the world. He's also created a super warm and inviting space with the idea of giving him a place to come in after dentistry, to rela...

Just Add Salt | James Corlett
September 29, 2022 22:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBJames is the head chef of Sneaky Snacky - home of the Wagyu Donut Burger. This Korean-fusion spot is not just aesthetic for your eyeballs, but a place where you put on some kitchen gloves, and eat a burger that should be consumed behind closed doors. We all know that salty and sweet can make a beautiful combo, but this really spices things up. I can say from experience - I had the chicken donut burger, and it was insane. James and I chat all things hospo - how he went from not knowing how...

While running Big Fig with her sisters, she still keeps the creative juices flowing by doing freelance work on the side- which is actually how I’ve met her!
