It’s no surprise that “food” is a huge search topic in Google but it might be a surprise that searching “comfort food” has gone up a whopping 300 percent in the last 12 months.

It’s our guess that Aotearoa New Zealand’s first lockdown landing in autumn (March-May) and the second in winter (August) that we Kiwis leapt to the food equivalent of a warm hug. And we reckon baking tasty snacks was at the top of the list!

Even better, a load of the people doing the baking were kids. So we thought why not find some delicious recipes that those talented kids can create these school holidays. Sweet perfection!
