MY DARLING LEMON THYME: RECIPES FROM MY REAL FOOD KITCHEN by Emma Galloway

Successful New Zealand food writer, Emma Galloway learned to love fresh, healthy and delicious food growing up in a creative whole-food-loving family.  Her passion shines through in the delectable recipes and photographs in her debut cookbook, My Darling Lemon Thyme: Recipes from my real food kitchen – as does her philosophy that natural, whole food should be flavoursome, fun and easy to prepare. 

My Darling Lemon Thyme takes its name from Emma’s food blog which she began as a place to share gluten-free vegetarian recipes after discovering she and her two children suffered from food intolerances.  Her blog now receives over 125,000 hits a month.

‘My aim is to inspire people with fresh, simple, flavourful recipes and to help break down the boring, flavourless stigma commonly attached to allergy-free eating,’ says Emma. 

Emma grew up in Raglan in a house her father built, collected rain water for drinking, grew their own fruit and vegetables and collected goats’ milk to make yogurt from a farmer at the end of their gravel road.  This was at a time when many New Zealand families were discovering the convenience of microwave ovens and ready-made meals.  Her parents provided the family with food as it’s supposed to be eaten - fresh from the earth to the kitchen, seasonal, nourishing and delicious.  Emma has carried this philosophy through to her roles as a chef, mother and now highly successful food blogger.

My Darling Lemon Thyme is about real, honest food, seasonal and simply prepared, whole and unadulterated, fresh from the earth to the kitchen.  While it is perfect for anyone with food intolerances, it also guaranteed to please everyone who loves great food.
