It's what our readers want

Qualitative research conducted by APN discovered a true need for the Food Hub, with a real demand from Kiwis for an online trove of recipes that speak our language and importantly, use NZ standard weights and measurements.
Some key insights from the research are:

“Most recipes I do Google are American, so if you can go straight to a New Zealand website that would be great”

“It’s a great idea ….they’re all New Zealand and all those publications are places I have seen things I’ve liked”

“The Food Hub would be practical. Right, what can I do with asparagus and beef tonight?”
