A Little About Old Mate Eats

Hey, I’m Sara! I’m based on the West Coast of New Zealand, where you’ll usually find me in the kitchen, out hunting, or getting stuck into another project around home.

I love good old-fashioned baking, hearty home-cooked meals and making the most of wild game. Here at Old Mate Eats, it’s all about simple, delicious recipes without the fuss. Nothing too fancy, just good food worth sharing!
