HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 🦁✨🎉💃🦄🪄🙏🏽

see y’all in another month or so

As a presence present to myself I’m tapping out of social media media for a bit.

I’d LOVE to hear what you’d like to see more of from me? On my return. What gives you joy and inspiration?

Please let me know……..

Tasty Tuesday was very popular but soon diminished with the ol algorithms

I’m old school and believe in not having 100000000000000 different ways to contact or communicate to me. Need anything I’m here just use my email [email protected] despite this awesome pic.

Stay cool, or warm, melt into your feminine or masculine, be kind, don’t judge, change so you evolve and just give a s**t about our environment

And always

Peace ✌🏽

Oh and please buy a book before they’re gone 😘

WINTER DOESN’T MEAN DULL!

By using simple techniques, combining fresh food & others preserved from different seasons, textures, tastes, it’s all bloody easy and stupid delicious!

Turmeric roasted smashed pumpkin, date coconut yoghurt, apple, pickled peppers, chervil

Want something different on your table?

I’d love to chat and see what I can do for you!

From catering a simple meal, to a dinner party or gathering, I can do it for you.

THE BIG DAY AYE!

You guys lost ya froth for this cake! So I thought I’d share a few words from the lovely couple who celebrated their wedding day with BearLion.

“Alesha from Bearlion catered the food for our wedding and damn in was GOOD! We had a range of dietary requirements (including having all of the food vegetarian and coeliac friendly) which Alesha easily took in her stride. Bearlion was a natural fit for us. Who could say no to plant-based, local, seasonal deliciousness?! The cake in particular was a fudgy chocolatey scorched meringue work of art!

10/10 highly recommend!

Thanks team! So glad BearLion could deliver you a lifelong great memory for a day all about you 🤍🦄

What do you want for your day? I’d love to know…..get in touch 🦁

OPEN DAY THIS WEEK

Saturday August 3rd, 11am-2pm

WORD

Be you! Do you really think the other 9 or 10 billion people on the planet care or that you should care what they think.

Be free! Do you

BIT OF GRATITUDE

It’s really nice to check in sometimes and see how far you’ve come & what you’ve achieved. Rather than looking at all you think lies ahead needing to be done!

Being thankful for the moment we are in, going with the flow and allowing it to take you places you never thought, to meet people who are now more than a face or a few words, friend & now family.

Thank you to all the lovers, supporters and friends of BearLion, through all the years, the tears and growth 🌱 in so many ways. It may of only been a few kind words but s**t that’s all you need sometimes & you’ll carry it with you forever. 🤍

We are forever grateful to you all. Thanks 🐻 🦁

THIS IS JUST A LIL REMINDER

To get more fibre inside ya!

Oh and perhaps start trying to grow a few things yourself? Amazing what little space can offer big rewards , even in winter!

2024 COOKIN CLASS

Get in touch,

Just a couple of spots left for this date!

Get amongst the BearLion goodness.

Q U I N C E

It’s real easy my friends

Depending on ripeness, simply place whole and washed quince in roasting dish half filled with water .

Cover & cook for 1 hour or until tender. 180-200oc

Leave to cool

Remove all flesh and use as you want















I’d love to know what you’d like to see more of from BearLion?

NEED SOME GREEN

I’m not perfect, who is? I do feel convenience is too convenient when it comes to food. But there are actual food options.
If there is one veg I turn to when the ol garden and fridge is bare or time is short, it’s the ol pea.

Served up here with red onions, apple, mustard and mint. Bring a lil food freshness and light to a winter meal.

WINTER SALAD VIBES

Roasted mushroom & cabbage, lentils, butter beans, garlic oil, capers and oregano

Hearty, healthy happiness

It’s easy when you eat actual food!

CATERING WITH A DIFFERENCE

Event, party, wedding or any excuse to gather and feast, get in touch for flavour and food that has been made from scratch.

Have a special dish in mind, let BearLion create it!

BearLion shows a way to make things simple, affordable and with as little impact to the environment as possible.

So show you care and choose companies trying to make a change.

THE BEARLION LINE UP THIS WEEK



*Buckwheat, turmeric roulade, smashed peas, potatoes & feta, hummus.

*Moutere mud cake, coconut caramel, chocolate ganache

*Feijoa, banana, bran & ginger loaf

*Milmore Downs - Organic Agriculture barley, Urban Hippie miso, onion and chilli soup

Who says you can’t have BearLion everyday! ?

SEASONAL

Missing tomatoes already, but seasonal eating is where it’s at.

Look forward to what each season brings or doesn’t, the wait only makes it more enjoyable.

That’s why BearLion changes it menu weekly, very proud of what the Lions garden is slowly producing and achieving. It takes time.

A lot of resources go into growing things when they shouldn’t be available.

Make one change, perhaps it’s this.

VISIT TASMAN

Loving this special part of Aotearoa and 3.5 years later it’s where we call home!

Have you visited lately or plan to?

Be sure to get in touch if you need ANY meals whilst you’re in the region. BearLion has you covered.

FIG LEAF

Great lil flavour booster!

I adore in tea or finely dusted on a cake, like this quince, almond & nettle number with yuzu sugar.

All the fig leaves are over now in our area but be sure next time to dry and try 🍃

EAT KAHAWAI

Yesterday was international Kahawai day!

Not sure what to do with this underrated species?

FIRST PIC- Try BearLion smoked Kahawai hash browns, recipe page 190 of the Food for Thought cookbook. Available to order through the BearLion website.

SECOND PIC - Make the flesh into dumplings, using the stock to make a tomato, coconut & black cardamon broth.

If you eat fish or care about the ocean perhaps it’s time to try something new and to know who caught it! Thanks and of course Dad for some filleting action.

OPEN DAY MENU

Would love to see you, come and enjoy a drive in the countryside.

Stock up on all things Real Food!

I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY

🤍 🐻 🦁
