THE BACKGROUND OF SILLY SEASONING

Covid-19 has hit a lot of Kiwi’s hard, and it wasn’t till we saw one of our neighbours catching the bus, and got chatting to her, it really struck us how deep the virus had hit and how it was really having a major impact on people’s lives.

Our neighbour had lost her job, through Covid-19 redundancy, her brother had just passed away and being the only family member was responsible for the funeral expenses, and was really struggling to put food on the table, and while we donated some money and helped with dinners for the family and help make connections for the help required, we knew that she was not the only Kiwi finding it hard and wanted to help in some small way.

Yep normally known for savoury seasonings we came up with something different, something with the aim to make people smile, and help ensure some families can have a slightly brighter Christmas this year who otherwise might go without. For us Christmas was all about food, and my favourite treat was always the Pav, so how about a Dessert seasoning!
