Welcome to My Patch
Hi, I'm Kylie!
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you've found some inspiring recipes and have enjoyed my reflections on preserving food.
I have a background as an academic in food and love teaching others how to not only preserve their own food but to enjoy a more easeful and healthy life because of them.
I'm a big-time foodie who is attempting a self-sufficient life on a quarter-acre section in Gisborne, New Zealand.

I'm now pressure canning & I'm hooked!
The Preserver's Kitchen Membership has been so helpful in building my confidence in all methods of preserving. We have a big family and live on a lifestyle property with extensive gardens and I would love to get to the point where we are making the most of what we are able to grow to use throughout the year. Through the membership I've built confidence and knowledge in overflow method and waterbathing and after one of the live sessions was even brave enough to get my pressure canner out of the box it had been sitting in for almost a year! Now I'm hooked!
