This week, we sit down with Jed McCammon, the creative force behind Body of the Year Bakery and co-owner of Pane Ora Dunedin's go-to gluten-free wholesale bakery. 🥖 For Jed, baking wasn't always the plan—he once pictured himself as an artist or teacher, starting his journey at art school and later working as a teacher's aide doing sign language interpretation for students. 🎨 👨‍🏫

After travelling through Europe, Jed returned and found his passion for baking in his flat with a friend who was opening a bagel caravan. That passion evolved, and now we all get to enjoy the delicious baked goods from both of his businesses! 🥯🚐

Jed shares the inspo behind the Pane Ora brand name—as his two business partners are Italian, 'Pane' means bread in Italian, and 'Ora' of course, means health in Maori, relating to the ethos of the brand, which is to provide healthy, Gluten-free products that are good for both your taste buds and your body. 😋💪

You can find Pane Ora at the Saturday Farmers Market 🛍️, where they come up with new ways to make gluten-free baking enjoyable every week! From burger buns to gluten-free pastries, there's always something delicious to try!🍔🥐

Epic (lengthy) Dunedin Stories episode with the incredible Rosann Connolly-George of Vincent George Travel, so much love in this session! 💖

Most people in Ōtepoti Dunedin will be familiar with this treasure of a person and organisation - if you were interested in the world of travel, especially her care, support and kindness for those “stuck” here or afar during Covid lockdowns.

An enthralling story aligns with this, involving Dunedin legend Janet Frame, which you will have to listen to understand a wee slice of regret from Rosann.

The lasting message from Rosann is truly that we don’t know how lucky we are here, our city and our country offers more than most. 🏙️❤️ Having been in war zones, impoverished locations, orphanages and other hard to describe situations - she knows what she is talking about!

Love your work Rosann. 😍
