Bestsellers: Nutella bliss with a twist at Oh Dutch Pancakes

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

What happens when you combine breakfast and dessert? According to Oh Dutch, you get a plate of warm fluffy poffertjes, or mini Dutch pancakes.

Inspired by the dessert cafés in their home town of Mumbai in India, husband and wife duo Sidhant Raval and Vaani Shah first started Oh Dutch out of a gazebo at a night market. Now, the two can be found flipping the miniature treats at their shop amongst the hustle and bustle of Made Market.

Eating over Christmas and New Year’s Resolutions to diet are in the past

If you had asked me when I was active in addiction what the meaning of Christmas was, I would have told you, the substantial amount of food available, the getting dressed up, the drinking and partying in the pubs and the nightclubs and receiving lots and lots and lots of gifts.

Eating at Christmas time was always different from the rest of the year. For most of the year I would be secretly eating but for that short week in December, I had free reign. It was that one time when everyone seemed to want to eat the way I did every single day. It was acceptable to eat chocolate for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and beyond.
