FOOD WRITER BLOGGER

Hi, my name is Catherine Milford, and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been a journalist for over 20 years both here and in England, and I've written on every topic you can think of, but EatsCooksReads focuses on my favourite: food. This blog is full of recipes I've written, products I've discovered, food books I love, restaurants I've reviewed and a lot besides! If you love New Zealand food, I hope you love my site.

  • Forging on delicious food, delightful company and some really clear and thought-provoking discussion from @ceciliarobinsonmfb at the NZ Foodwriters midwinter Christmas dinner. Food for thought in every way. And the food... well it’s created by @mikeynewlands at @ampersand_eatery - nuff said. #delicious #midwinterchristmas #nz #foodie

  • So pleased to discover #freshkeeper to keep fresh produce from over-ripening. Kiwis throw away over 122,547 tonnes of food a year - what a waste. Popping one Freshkeeper sachet in the fruit bowl, one with the veggies and one in the #flowers hubby got me for my birthday - wouldn’t it be great if it made them last the year until I get another bunch! #lovefoodhatewaste #keepitfresh #saveit #innovation #madeinnewzealand
