Our Story
We are Mala (2/3/21), Anna, and Andrew. A small chaotic unit full of love, beans, and appetite, based in Christchurch, NZ.
We love exploring the world of food together and introducing Mala to all the weird and wonderful flavours out there.
After working as a chef for years, Anna started Mala’s Meals inspired by numerous requests from friends and other mums to share her recipes and insights. In the hope that it’ll help your family too!
Being a parent is hard enough these days, the least we can do is band together to share what works – for raising well-balanced little humans with a healthy relationship to food.
Our Mission
Making food fun for the whole family
We believe eating is a family activity, so all should take part and enjoy the process! Let's figure out how to engage our little ones and partners in this weird and wonderful journey that is learning how to eat.
Creating a culture of culinary exploration
Let's get out of the mindset of 'kids foods' and projecting things they do and don't like! (Think Fairy Bread vs. Sauerkraut). Anything is a new and tantalising flavour for our little ones' palettes, so let's nurture that!
Taking the stress out of mealtimes
Parenting is no piece of cake! So having to figure out 3 meals a day plus snacks can be a big challenge. We want to help make things easier for you by sharing ALL the hacks within a community of kick-arse parents.
