How long does it take
you to make a healthy,
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.37
delicious gourmet meal,
one hour... maybe two hours?
00:00:03.40\00:00:06.33
stay tuned to meet a
man who is hooking it up
00:00:06.37\00:00:09.27
and cooking it up
in just 30 minutes.
00:00:09.30\00:00:11.27
My name is Jason Bradley
00:00:11.31\00:00:12.84
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:12.87\00:00:14.94
Hello and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:37.37\00:00:39.43
Dr. Lewis, who is also my mom,
00:00:39.47\00:00:41.80
was on the Set
of Cook:30 for Kids
00:00:41.84\00:00:44.57
with
Chef/Restaurateur Jeremy Dixon,
00:00:44.61\00:00:47.28
we will begin airing Cook:30
00:00:47.31\00:00:49.48
right here on the
Dare to Dream Network
00:00:49.51\00:00:52.85
very, very
soon, in the meantime,
00:00:52.88\00:00:54.22
let's take a look at
what Jeremy had to say.
00:00:54.25\00:00:58.69
I am so happy today
to be sitting on the Set
00:00:58.75\00:01:03.02
with Jeremy Dixon
and this Set is: Cook:30.
00:01:03.06\00:01:07.33
Jeremy, welcome to Urban Report!
00:01:07.36\00:01:10.23
Thank you very
much, welcome to Cook:30.
00:01:10.27\00:01:12.60
I know... I know...
you're doing Cook:30...
00:01:12.63\00:01:14.97
you're doing Cook:30 for Kids,
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.11
it's awesome... really, really.
00:01:17.14\00:01:19.37
Okay, so, some of our Viewers
00:01:19.41\00:01:21.54
may or may not
be familiar with you
00:01:21.58\00:01:23.65
so, tell us a little bit
about, "Who is Jeremy Dixon?"
00:01:23.68\00:01:26.88
Where did you grow up?
00:01:26.92\00:01:28.42
And I know it's not Brooklyn.
00:01:28.45\00:01:31.39
No, I'm from New Zealand,
00:01:31.42\00:01:34.32
do you know
where New Zealand is?
00:01:34.36\00:01:35.72
Tell me... near Australia...
near Australia, right?
00:01:35.79\00:01:38.06
A little bitty
country near Australia,
00:01:38.09\00:01:40.06
it's about three
airplane rides from Australia,
00:01:40.10\00:01:41.46
at the bottom of the
world, near Antarctica
00:01:41.50\00:01:43.70
so I've lived there all my
life and that's my home country.
00:01:43.73\00:01:47.04
Okay, okay, now,
when you came here,
00:01:47.07\00:01:51.21
was this... to 3ABN...
00:01:51.27\00:01:53.54
was this your first time
coming to the States or...?
00:01:53.58\00:01:56.28
I've visited the States on
business occasionally before,
00:01:56.31\00:01:59.01
but since... up to now
I've made... now four trips
00:01:59.05\00:02:01.95
to the USA... to
3ABN... to do the filming...
00:02:01.98\00:02:04.85
it's been lots of filming.
00:02:04.89\00:02:06.22
Wow, so you grew
up in New Zealand...
00:02:06.25\00:02:07.96
I grew up in New Zealand... yes.
00:02:07.99\00:02:09.46
Did you grow up
in a Christian home?
00:02:09.49\00:02:10.89
No, I actually grew up...
my parents were not Christians,
00:02:10.93\00:02:13.60
so I grew up in a... with my
"secular home... " so to speak,
00:02:13.63\00:02:16.26
so we absolutely had
no religious kind of...
00:02:16.30\00:02:18.53
or Christian kind of upbringing,
00:02:18.57\00:02:20.14
wonderful,
wonderful parents, though,
00:02:20.20\00:02:22.17
I had amazing, amazing
parents but they just...
00:02:22.20\00:02:24.54
they had come from homes where
00:02:24.57\00:02:26.21
Christianity was kind of
shoved down their throats,
00:02:26.24\00:02:28.84
so they were kind of really...
00:02:28.88\00:02:31.15
had a very unpleasant view of it
00:02:31.18\00:02:33.38
so, they kind of...
and since they grew up
00:02:33.42\00:02:34.85
they left kind of
that... that experience, so...
00:02:34.88\00:02:36.72
It's so sad,
right, that many times
00:02:36.75\00:02:40.76
Christianity does get forced
00:02:40.82\00:02:43.12
and instead of
people understanding
00:02:43.16\00:02:45.36
and having a
relationship with Jesus,
00:02:45.39\00:02:47.76
the rules get
really forced on them.
00:02:47.83\00:02:50.13
I know, I see a lot of parents
get very tough on their kids
00:02:50.17\00:02:52.07
with... you know... "you
must do this... do this...
00:02:52.10\00:02:54.30
do this... " and you kind
of got to have that balance
00:02:54.34\00:02:56.64
because they're going
to make their own decisions
00:02:56.67\00:02:58.44
at the end of the day and
you got to kind of delay them,
00:02:58.47\00:03:00.81
I think, and it's a very
hard balance, but... yes.
00:03:00.88\00:03:03.71
Yeah, yeah, so, you
weren't in a Christian home,
00:03:03.75\00:03:06.55
but you became a Christian, how?
00:03:06.58\00:03:09.12
That's right... well
I went to a High School,
00:03:09.15\00:03:10.69
I went to a secular
High School in New Zealand
00:03:10.72\00:03:12.59
and I met a friend
there who was an Adventist,
00:03:12.62\00:03:14.09
and we got along really well
00:03:14.12\00:03:15.76
and he invited me to
some Youth activities...
00:03:15.79\00:03:17.43
and I really enjoyed them,
got to know some new friends
00:03:17.46\00:03:20.56
and while I was
there he dragged me along
00:03:20.60\00:03:21.96
to some prophecy
seminars and things like that...
00:03:22.03\00:03:23.83
and really enjoyed
them and about that time,
00:03:23.87\00:03:25.77
I kind of was thinking...
00:03:25.83\00:03:27.17
you know, "What's
the point of life?
00:03:27.20\00:03:28.54
I mean, we just die
and it's just blankness
00:03:28.57\00:03:30.61
and there's death and
there's nothing and I was like,
00:03:30.67\00:03:32.17
what's the point of life?"
00:03:32.21\00:03:33.54
and so the times I
was thinking that...
00:03:33.58\00:03:35.41
I... you know... this
great message came along
00:03:35.44\00:03:37.75
all the prophecies of
the Bible just came clear,
00:03:37.78\00:03:40.02
so I was like, "Hey, these
guys have got it together... "
00:03:40.05\00:03:41.58
and so it really clear
message as to what's happening
00:03:41.62\00:03:43.52
in this world I get
saved, I live forever,
00:03:43.59\00:03:46.55
and I just
signed up, I was sold.
00:03:46.59\00:03:48.39
Oh man! that's
beautiful, that's beautiful,
00:03:48.42\00:03:50.86
it's amazing isn't it how
the Holy Spirit will woo you
00:03:50.89\00:03:54.26
how He'll work on you because
you had begun to think about,
00:03:54.30\00:03:57.80
"What's the meaning of
life?" Jeremy: Exactly...
00:03:57.83\00:03:59.43
"Why am I here... like... what?"
00:03:59.47\00:04:01.04
And at that time,
your friend invited you
00:04:01.07\00:04:04.44
to Seminars and stuff
like that. Jeremy: Yes.
00:04:04.47\00:04:07.48
It's like God just knows
what we need... when we need it
00:04:07.51\00:04:11.98
and He knows how to bring us
from this point to this point.
00:04:12.01\00:04:15.05
He does...
00:04:15.08\00:04:16.42
But influence is critical...
00:04:16.45\00:04:18.32
and you are using your
influence in cooking...
00:04:18.35\00:04:21.92
Jeremy: Yes.
00:04:21.96\00:04:23.29
Yvonne: Tell us about
that... tell us about that.
00:04:23.32\00:04:26.59
So, I worked for a...
after I finished University...
00:04:26.63\00:04:30.73
I worked for an
Adventist company
00:04:30.77\00:04:32.10
in New Zealand
called Sanitarium...
00:04:32.13\00:04:33.47
I don't know if you've
heard of it or not, it's a...
00:04:33.50\00:04:34.84
it's kind of like the Kellogg's
of New Zealand and Australia.
00:04:34.87\00:04:36.50
Yvonne: Oh... okay...
00:04:36.54\00:04:37.87
It's run by the
Adventist Church,
00:04:37.91\00:04:39.24
wonderful, wonderful company
to work through... for...
00:04:39.27\00:04:41.48
so, I worked for them for about
ten years in Marketing roles
00:04:41.51\00:04:43.98
and Executive-type roles
and had a lot of fun there.
00:04:44.01\00:04:47.22
Now, were you
cooking at that time?
00:04:47.25\00:04:49.15
No, no, I was just
doing... kind of marketing stuff
00:04:49.18\00:04:50.89
and business stuff...
00:04:50.92\00:04:52.25
but then I kind of started
getting interested in health,
00:04:52.29\00:04:54.66
the Company was a...
had a big health focus,
00:04:54.69\00:04:57.03
and I kind of went to a
point where I kind of wanted
00:04:57.09\00:04:58.73
a bit more of a
reach-out with God,
00:04:58.76\00:05:00.10
kind of, you hear all these...
inspired... you know these...
00:05:00.13\00:05:02.43
you read these books of people
who did amazing things in life,
00:05:02.46\00:05:04.80
well, I want a life like that...
00:05:04.83\00:05:06.40
so I kind of said, "I want
to go and do something risky
00:05:06.43\00:05:08.54
and take the plunge
and give it a go... "
00:05:08.57\00:05:10.31
Yes...
00:05:10.34\00:05:11.67
So, basically, probably
around about early-2000s,
00:05:11.71\00:05:14.94
I decided to... to quit my job,
00:05:14.98\00:05:17.15
so I already had a good
high-paying job with them,
00:05:17.18\00:05:19.61
and I quit that and I opened up
a little Cafe in the downtown...
00:05:19.65\00:05:22.88
Downtown Auckland Central.
00:05:22.92\00:05:24.42
What! so wait...
wait... wait... wait...
00:05:24.45\00:05:26.45
so, so you're doing
marketing... Jeremy: Yup...
00:05:26.49\00:05:29.82
And you do that for like
ten years or something...
00:05:29.86\00:05:33.76
and while you're doing that,
you start investigating cooking,
00:05:33.80\00:05:38.70
you find little
different things...
00:05:38.73\00:05:40.07
That's right, I
wasn't a Chef at that stage,
00:05:40.10\00:05:41.77
although my wife and I did go
to a Health Retreat in Australia
00:05:41.80\00:05:44.51
that kind of inspired...
00:05:44.54\00:05:45.87
we came back feeling
great and wonderful, you know,
00:05:45.91\00:05:47.61
eating lots of
healthy plant-based foods,
00:05:47.64\00:05:49.71
drinking water,
exercise, getting sleep,
00:05:49.74\00:05:51.75
doing all the basic
stuff that we all know about,
00:05:51.78\00:05:53.85
makes a difference to us,
00:05:53.88\00:05:56.05
we're like, "We got to
share this with people... "
00:05:56.08\00:05:57.49
in Auckland you just
could not find healthy food
00:05:57.52\00:05:59.99
so it's like, "Let's start
a healthy food restaurant. "
00:06:00.02\00:06:03.29
Oh, see, that's
incredible, so you realized
00:06:03.32\00:06:07.70
how beneficial it was
for you to eat like that.
00:06:07.73\00:06:12.07
Jeremy: Definitely.
Yvonne: And you thought,
00:06:12.10\00:06:13.94
"Let's help other
people to do that... "
00:06:13.97\00:06:15.74
Exactly... so I believe
in getting up every morning
00:06:15.77\00:06:18.11
with energy and vitality.
00:06:18.14\00:06:19.47
As a Christian or
anyone... getting up...
00:06:19.51\00:06:22.68
dragging yourself out of bed,
caffeinating yourself and...
00:06:22.71\00:06:25.21
dragging along...
bad mood... you know...
00:06:25.25\00:06:28.08
if you put good,
healthy food in your body,
00:06:28.12\00:06:30.52
and follow the
natural... the Laws of Health..
00:06:30.55\00:06:33.29
water, sleep, exercise,
all those types of things,
00:06:33.32\00:06:36.02
you feel amazing...
00:06:36.09\00:06:37.59
and why would you
not want to live life
00:06:37.63\00:06:39.76
with lots of
energy and vitality?
00:06:39.79\00:06:41.53
Absolutely, you know,
there are so many people today
00:06:41.56\00:06:44.63
who don't make the connection
between nutrition and lifestyle
00:06:44.67\00:06:49.90
and health and energy, so
when people are tired and...
00:06:49.94\00:06:54.64
and dragging and all that...
00:06:54.68\00:06:56.11
a lot of times you're
not getting enough sleep,
00:06:56.14\00:06:58.28
you're eating too
much sugar or whatever
00:06:58.31\00:07:00.38
and you're just dragging...
00:07:00.42\00:07:02.22
so, you went to
that health seminar,
00:07:02.25\00:07:05.09
you and your wife, Verity,
went to the Health Seminar,
00:07:05.12\00:07:08.26
felt great when
you came back and said,
00:07:08.29\00:07:11.96
"We're going to open
up our own restaurant"
00:07:11.99\00:07:15.50
and you started cooking then,
00:07:15.53\00:07:17.20
is that when
you started cooking?
00:07:17.23\00:07:19.07
No, actually I hired a
Chef, so when I started that...
00:07:19.10\00:07:20.90
I hired a Chef... who
was going to do the cooking,
00:07:20.94\00:07:22.70
I set all the
recipes and the menus
00:07:22.74\00:07:24.41
and the systems
behind the place,
00:07:24.44\00:07:26.04
and we started a
Cafe, it was very exciting.
00:07:26.07\00:07:29.11
Wow! and so... did...
when you first started...
00:07:29.14\00:07:31.75
what were some of the
challenges that you faced
00:07:31.81\00:07:34.38
when you first started the Cafe?
00:07:34.42\00:07:35.78
We nearly went
bankrupt about three times...
00:07:35.82\00:07:37.19
the first two
years were just horrible,
00:07:37.25\00:07:39.19
probably the most
terrible experiences in my life,
00:07:39.22\00:07:42.22
and when you sign up for Cafe,
00:07:42.26\00:07:43.89
you actually sign up a lease,
00:07:43.93\00:07:45.49
you're personally
guaranteeing a lease,
00:07:45.53\00:07:46.90
of several 100,000
dollars over many years...
00:07:46.93\00:07:49.16
so there are these
big financial pressures
00:07:49.20\00:07:51.37
and in hindsight I think I
knew it all... but I didn't...
00:07:51.40\00:07:53.94
so it took me about two years
00:07:53.97\00:07:56.07
of actually learning
how to run a restaurant,
00:07:56.10\00:07:59.74
because there's lots of things
in the Hospitality Industry
00:07:59.77\00:08:01.88
that you don't
see in the background
00:08:01.91\00:08:03.24
that you don't know about...
00:08:03.28\00:08:04.61
we had massive
financial problems,
00:08:04.65\00:08:07.28
nearly went under...
00:08:07.32\00:08:08.65
it was a huge journey of
faith for those two years,
00:08:08.68\00:08:11.59
I was just... beside myself...
00:08:11.62\00:08:13.32
I wanted to quit so
many times, but I couldn't
00:08:13.36\00:08:16.42
because prayers took
through and I think God...
00:08:16.46\00:08:18.99
well, God has blessed
my life and he more...
00:08:19.03\00:08:21.60
kind of gives me wisdom
so I searched for wisdom,
00:08:21.63\00:08:23.47
searched for people to help me
00:08:23.50\00:08:24.93
and by doing
that... turned things around
00:08:24.97\00:08:27.34
and then
developed it to be a very...
00:08:27.37\00:08:29.67
it's now a very successful
kind of vegetarian Cafe.
00:08:29.70\00:08:32.94
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so what would you...
00:08:32.97\00:08:36.14
knowing what you know now
about opening a restaurant...
00:08:36.18\00:08:39.58
what would you do differently
than you did back then?
00:08:39.61\00:08:42.95
Yeah, and a lot of
people come to me and ask me,
00:08:42.98\00:08:44.79
"I want to set up
my own vegetarian cafe
00:08:44.82\00:08:46.92
or restaurant,
what should I do?"
00:08:46.96\00:08:48.49
There are probably
two things I'd do...
00:08:48.52\00:08:49.86
number one thing... which
I would do if I did it again
00:08:49.89\00:08:53.56
is... I would have actually
gone and worked in a Cafe
00:08:53.60\00:08:57.37
for probably six
months... even McDonald's
00:08:57.43\00:08:59.93
or some of the unhealthy
Cafes, worked in those...
00:08:59.97\00:09:02.87
find out what the goings
are and become knowledgeable
00:09:02.90\00:09:05.77
and finding the
secrets of the trade
00:09:05.81\00:09:07.94
and how it works
in the background,
00:09:07.98\00:09:10.01
and that would have saved me
hundreds of thousands of dollars
00:09:10.05\00:09:12.38
endless sleepless nights...
00:09:12.41\00:09:14.55
if I'd just stayed on
that for six months beforehand
00:09:14.58\00:09:17.12
but I just wanted
to rush and get to it
00:09:17.15\00:09:18.49
and looking back
I've got no regrets,
00:09:18.52\00:09:19.85
how I did it...
it happened and...
00:09:19.89\00:09:21.26
and I had a huge
faith experience so...
00:09:21.29\00:09:22.99
how it happened
is... it's fine...
00:09:23.02\00:09:24.76
but my advice to
anyone else would be
00:09:24.79\00:09:26.53
to find how it works first
00:09:26.56\00:09:28.46
and then find out
where your talents are,
00:09:28.50\00:09:29.83
if you're a
front-of-house person
00:09:29.86\00:09:31.77
like a bubbly,
multi-tasking person...
00:09:31.80\00:09:33.47
then you need to hire
a Chef or an accountant,
00:09:33.50\00:09:35.77
if you're a kitchen person,
you might need to hire a bubbly,
00:09:35.80\00:09:38.77
out of front...
front-of-house person
00:09:38.84\00:09:40.61
and you just need to make sure
not one person runs a restaurant
00:09:40.64\00:09:44.11
you need to have
a team of people...
00:09:44.15\00:09:45.51
and a few are going to start...
00:09:45.58\00:09:47.88
you need to know what
jobs you're going to do
00:09:47.92\00:09:49.68
and what talents you don't have,
00:09:49.72\00:09:51.45
then you need to get
someone else to do those
00:09:51.52\00:09:53.56
and that's probably
the main advice there.
00:09:53.59\00:09:55.32
That's good... that's good
00:09:55.36\00:09:56.69
because I was just talking
to someone recently about...
00:09:56.73\00:09:59.03
they wanted to go into
this whole other field,
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.80
and I said, "Work in it first
00:10:00.83\00:10:03.60
before you try to have
your own business in it
00:10:03.63\00:10:05.93
because you don't
know the ins and outs. "
00:10:05.97\00:10:08.00
Exactly.
00:10:08.04\00:10:09.37
So, that's what you did...
00:10:09.40\00:10:10.74
that's what you
should have done.
00:10:10.77\00:10:12.71
Should have done yes... so I
learned the hard way being first
00:10:12.74\00:10:16.41
Yeah, yeah, and so... you...
well, I missed this step here,
00:10:16.44\00:10:20.08
I missed a step because
we've talked about your wife
00:10:20.12\00:10:22.38
but we didn't talk
about how you met your wife
00:10:22.42\00:10:24.95
so, let's go back
and talk about that.
00:10:25.02\00:10:27.46
How did you meet
your lovely wife, Verity?
00:10:27.49\00:10:29.82
We met in Auckland... we
both come from Christchurch
00:10:29.89\00:10:32.56
that's our hometown so
that's where we both grew up
00:10:32.59\00:10:35.20
but we didn't cross paths
there, not that we know about,
00:10:35.23\00:10:38.50
it wasn't until we
both moved to Auckland...
00:10:38.53\00:10:40.70
and we meet
through mutual friends
00:10:40.74\00:10:42.50
basically... saw each other
and liked each other and met up.
00:10:42.54\00:10:46.07
Was it love at first sight?
00:10:46.11\00:10:47.44
Oh, yes... yes...
yea... yes... yeah...
00:10:47.48\00:10:49.51
almost yeah... we
had the kind of period
00:10:49.54\00:10:51.61
where we kind of go through
and kind of court each other
00:10:51.65\00:10:53.88
and you know... but she's here,
a wonderful, wonderful woman
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.69
who has been part of my journey
as well, so if it weren't for...
00:10:56.72\00:10:59.49
without her... this
whole, exciting adventure
00:10:59.52\00:11:02.29
wouldn't have happened
so, it was a turning point.
00:11:02.32\00:11:04.43
And it so important
isn't it to have a partner
00:11:04.49\00:11:06.53
who can be in ministry with
you, that shares your values
00:11:06.56\00:11:10.87
and... she wanted to eat
healthy too and so she did...
00:11:10.93\00:11:15.17
Yeah, together we... we've
got that passion on mission.
00:11:15.20\00:11:18.57
Yes, yes, yes... now...
tell us about Cook:30...
00:11:18.61\00:11:21.14
what is Cook:30 all about...
00:11:21.21\00:11:24.25
because we're going to
show it on Dare to Dream.
00:11:24.28\00:11:27.32
Jeremy: Which is fantastic...
it's excellent, it's wonderful.
00:11:27.38\00:11:29.42
Yeah, I know, I'm happy, I'm so
happy... you're going to do that
00:11:29.45\00:11:31.45
so, tell us about it, why...?
What's different about Cook:30,
00:11:31.49\00:11:36.02
what's different about that
00:11:36.06\00:11:37.39
as opposed to other
programs about cooking?
00:11:37.43\00:11:39.69
So, Cook:30 is kind
of how I cook at home...
00:11:39.73\00:11:42.26
so, it's basically
using my philosophy of...
00:11:42.30\00:11:44.77
kind of nutrition
which is using whole foods,
00:11:44.80\00:11:48.77
plant-based foods... so,
it's vegetarian, no meat...
00:11:48.80\00:11:52.67
no dairy... we don't use
white flour, any processed foods
00:11:52.71\00:11:58.25
we stay away from all
those kind of pre-prepared meat
00:11:58.31\00:12:00.68
analogs and things like that...
00:12:00.72\00:12:02.12
so everything is just very
natural, whole-food ingredients,
00:12:02.15\00:12:04.55
that's probably
the number one thing,
00:12:04.59\00:12:05.92
which is like the
food I serve in my Cafes...
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.09
Right...
00:12:08.12\00:12:09.49
And number two being 30 minutes,
so basically 30 minutes...
00:12:09.52\00:12:11.89
you're going to cook a
complete meal for your family
00:12:11.93\00:12:13.86
but it's multi-tasking... so
basically... you might start,
00:12:13.90\00:12:17.90
you put the rice
on... the brown rice on...
00:12:17.93\00:12:19.80
get that underway...
00:12:19.83\00:12:21.17
then you might start sautéing
some onions for the curry,
00:12:21.20\00:12:23.30
then you might
quickly go and make a salad
00:12:23.34\00:12:25.17
and get that done...
00:12:25.21\00:12:26.94
then you might go back... add
some more things to the curry
00:12:26.98\00:12:29.44
and get that going again,
00:12:29.48\00:12:30.81
and then you might
add another little dish
00:12:30.85\00:12:32.58
will make a hummus in the
blender or something like that,
00:12:32.61\00:12:34.82
so it's kind of moving
throughout the kitchen,
00:12:34.85\00:12:37.02
coming back to the
curry, finishing the salad,
00:12:37.09\00:12:39.02
garnishing off...
and bang! 30 minutes
00:12:39.05\00:12:40.86
you've got a meal
with all those dishes.
00:12:40.92\00:12:44.36
Wow! so describe a
meal.. one whole meal...
00:12:44.39\00:12:47.63
that you can do in 30 minutes,
00:12:47.66\00:12:50.23
I know you were
telling us the process,
00:12:50.27\00:12:52.00
now, what... what
kinds of meals can you have?
00:12:52.03\00:12:54.80
So that's kind of what
we eat at tiny meals...
00:12:54.84\00:12:56.27
if you're at a
high-quality restaurant style...
00:12:56.30\00:12:57.84
so, for example, one episode,
00:12:57.87\00:12:59.34
I think the first one
is something like a...
00:12:59.37\00:13:02.34
a beautiful Thai
pumpkin- spinach-ginger curry,
00:13:02.38\00:13:05.31
so it's got... you
know... with tofu in it
00:13:05.35\00:13:07.45
so a really nice delicious curry
00:13:07.52\00:13:08.85
serving on brown rice
so cooking up brown rice...
00:13:08.88\00:13:11.95
brown rice is obviously
much, much better for you
00:13:11.99\00:13:13.62
than white rice.
Yvonne: Absolutely...
00:13:13.66\00:13:15.06
And so I've got
that here as well,
00:13:15.09\00:13:16.46
and then you might have
like... a broccoli salad,
00:13:16.52\00:13:18.19
some of my
salads are really easy
00:13:18.23\00:13:19.96
for example, you
might just chop up broccoli,
00:13:20.00\00:13:21.50
steam it and then
sprinkle on some...
00:13:21.53\00:13:24.27
some sliced almonds
and some cranberries,
00:13:24.30\00:13:26.97
and a little bit of Olive oil,
00:13:27.00\00:13:28.57
that's just a
really nice simple salad
00:13:28.60\00:13:30.11
so you don't have
to be complicated...
00:13:30.14\00:13:31.57
and then for dessert...
00:13:31.61\00:13:33.54
there might be
something like a smoothie
00:13:33.58\00:13:34.91
so, basically,
throw some bananas,
00:13:34.94\00:13:36.58
some frozen fruit in the blender
00:13:36.61\00:13:38.45
and add a little
bit of almond milk
00:13:38.48\00:13:40.02
and you've got a
delicious smoothie,
00:13:40.05\00:13:41.48
so basically, doing all that
in a short amount of time...
00:13:41.52\00:13:43.59
and so, multi-tasking,
lot of chic tricks
00:13:43.65\00:13:46.45
and also choosing different
ingredients you can use
00:13:46.49\00:13:49.12
in a very short time as well.
00:13:49.16\00:13:51.99
Hmmm... that
sounds so... so good.
00:13:52.03\00:13:55.33
And it's fast-paced... like...
"Oh he needs the clock here... "
00:13:55.36\00:13:58.60
I'm basically, every program,
like, I'm just racing for it,
00:13:58.63\00:14:01.87
chopping things,
garnishing things,
00:14:01.90\00:14:03.24
looking at the clock to get
things finished in that time,
00:14:03.27\00:14:06.14
it's just a real... and it's
a real mental challenge to do it
00:14:06.17\00:14:08.58
because you got to actually
make the food look good,
00:14:08.61\00:14:10.98
you've got to say
things that are intelligent
00:14:11.01\00:14:12.38
and finish the
food in that time,
00:14:12.41\00:14:14.28
so it's really fun.
00:14:14.32\00:14:15.65
That's seems like it
would be a lot of pressure,
00:14:15.68\00:14:18.35
because you...
that... that clock is on
00:14:18.39\00:14:20.46
and you have 30
minutes to get everything done.
00:14:20.49\00:14:21.99
Exactly... well it's
actually less because there's...
00:14:22.02\00:14:23.36
these primary
breaks and things as well,
00:14:23.39\00:14:25.03
so it's actually
in about 25 minutes
00:14:25.09\00:14:26.66
with the actual
cooking, so... Yvonne: Wow!
00:14:26.70\00:14:28.63
Yeah, it's a great
challenge, I love them.
00:14:28.66\00:14:30.57
But what's great
is we need to know...
00:14:30.60\00:14:32.73
this is such a fast-paced
Society that we live in
00:14:32.77\00:14:35.67
and when you
come home from work,
00:14:35.70\00:14:37.94
you don't want to be slaving
over this stove for hours
00:14:37.97\00:14:41.54
trying to make a
healthy meal for your family,
00:14:41.58\00:14:44.78
if you can do it in 30
minutes which is, to me...
00:14:44.81\00:14:47.32
what's so appealing...
I mean, this is 30 minutes
00:14:47.35\00:14:49.78
and you can have
a... a kind of gourmet...
00:14:49.82\00:14:52.55
kind of vegetarian
meal there for your family
00:14:52.59\00:14:55.29
so I think that
that is incredible.
00:14:55.32\00:14:57.23
And the first time you make
it, it may not take 30 minutes
00:14:57.26\00:14:59.49
but you know... try it
once... it may take an hour...
00:14:59.53\00:15:01.73
but once you've done
it a couple of times,
00:15:01.76\00:15:03.33
you've learned the
techniques and recipes,
00:15:03.37\00:15:04.97
you get really quick
at some of these things.
00:15:05.00\00:15:07.50
So there's like a
process that you go through,
00:15:07.54\00:15:09.97
like it's not
just... because one...
00:15:10.01\00:15:12.24
okay, let me just tell
you, I am... like not...
00:15:12.27\00:15:15.14
I can cook but...
I'm... that's not...
00:15:15.18\00:15:19.51
I cook because I had a
family, I had kids, you know,
00:15:19.55\00:15:22.48
I had just had to...
00:15:22.52\00:15:23.85
but now, my kids are grown so...
00:15:23.89\00:15:25.22
so... sometimes I
cook, sometimes I don't
00:15:25.25\00:15:27.86
but I'm not great at
knowing when to put... like...
00:15:27.89\00:15:32.43
when you're trying to do
a bunch of different things,
00:15:32.46\00:15:36.40
what do you... what order...
like, what do I do first?
00:15:36.43\00:15:40.34
How do I get this...
set up for this and this...
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.74
and it sounds like that's
one of the things you teach.
00:15:43.77\00:15:46.31
Yes, and so... part
of it is a few things...
00:15:46.34\00:15:48.44
number one is kind of: Prep...
00:15:48.51\00:15:49.91
so we always start with
everything laid out on the bench
00:15:49.94\00:15:51.85
getting it cleared... clear...
00:15:51.91\00:15:53.25
sorry "counter...
" you guys call it
00:15:53.28\00:15:54.62
like getting everything...
getting everything up here
00:15:54.65\00:15:55.98
with the ingredients
there but you're thinking...
00:15:56.02\00:15:57.62
always got to be thinking ahead,
00:15:57.65\00:15:58.99
so you know... what's
going to take the longest
00:15:59.02\00:16:00.92
and might think, so, brown rice
okay... that's a 30-minute cook,
00:16:00.96\00:16:04.19
get that on
first, straight away...
00:16:04.23\00:16:05.89
I kind of got some
rice and vegetables...
00:16:05.93\00:16:07.86
that's about 20 minutes...
00:16:07.93\00:16:09.26
bang! get them in the
oven straight away, so...
00:16:09.30\00:16:10.83
You do frozen
vegetables or you do fresh?
00:16:10.87\00:16:13.03
I buy
everything... so, for example...
00:16:13.07\00:16:15.07
for example... frozen peas
is a really lovely ingredient
00:16:15.10\00:16:17.47
you can just throw it in a
curry to give a little bit of
00:16:17.51\00:16:19.74
greenness... a
little bit of moisture...
00:16:19.77\00:16:21.24
or salad even... so...
00:16:21.28\00:16:22.61
and things you can leave to
the end... like, smoothie...
00:16:22.64\00:16:24.25
you kind of want to do it at
the end... just before you serve
00:16:24.28\00:16:26.61
and the salads... you
can kind of do anytime,
00:16:26.65\00:16:29.42
so it's just thinking ahead...
00:16:29.48\00:16:30.82
of every ingredient, "What's
going to be holding me up?"
00:16:30.85\00:16:32.55
Because the worst thing is
getting... just before serving,
00:16:32.59\00:16:34.82
you're like, "Oh, I
forgot to put the rice on!"
00:16:34.86\00:16:36.96
I think another 30
minutes before you can eat!
00:16:36.99\00:16:38.56
That's right.
00:16:38.59\00:16:39.93
Whereas if you had that
thought 30 minutes before...
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.76
no problem at all...
00:16:41.80\00:16:43.13
so it's just learning
and training your mind
00:16:43.16\00:16:45.07
to think
ahead... what's coming up.
00:16:45.10\00:16:46.50
That's really
good... that's good...
00:16:46.53\00:16:48.80
because somebody
like me who is just not
00:16:48.84\00:16:51.11
like the "queen
of the kitchen... "
00:16:51.14\00:16:53.41
And it's just so simple, like...
00:16:53.44\00:16:55.64
I actually don't have a
Chef degree or anything...
00:16:55.68\00:16:58.48
I've thought about
going to Chef School,
00:16:58.51\00:17:00.62
but the more I investigated it,
00:17:00.65\00:17:02.28
all I learn is
about matching wines,
00:17:02.32\00:17:04.92
how to cook
steaks to different ways
00:17:04.95\00:17:07.22
how to put as much
butter and sugar and chocolate
00:17:07.26\00:17:09.26
into desserts as possible
using the white flour...
00:17:09.32\00:17:11.69
and there's actually
not much use to all this
00:17:11.73\00:17:14.13
so, I've
self-trained all my Chefs
00:17:14.16\00:17:16.40
all my different
ingredients in my restaurants
00:17:16.46\00:17:18.03
so, I've... I've kind of
had more of a practical...
00:17:18.07\00:17:19.83
practical learning to develop
my kind of style of cooking.
00:17:19.87\00:17:23.17
That's tremendous
though... because, you know,
00:17:23.20\00:17:25.64
you didn't have
to go to Chef School,
00:17:25.67\00:17:28.18
but you know a lot of
these different techniques
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.95
for healthy
plant-based living and that's...
00:17:30.98\00:17:33.68
that's really
the best way, anyway.
00:17:33.72\00:17:35.68
Exactly, I'm not
a complicated Chef,
00:17:35.72\00:17:37.62
I'm not into baking and
stuff my stuff is really simple,
00:17:37.65\00:17:39.62
I think that's why
people like the Program
00:17:39.65\00:17:41.92
and my Cookbooks as well
is because it's really simple.
00:17:41.99\00:17:44.86
I'm not a 2:00 a. m.
thing... I'm like a...
00:17:44.89\00:17:47.10
just throw some
things in the pan...
00:17:47.13\00:17:48.46
cook it up...
put it on a plate...
00:17:48.50\00:17:49.83
a few little tricks
will make it look beautiful,
00:17:49.86\00:17:51.20
it's kind of my
style... Yvonne: Yes...
00:17:51.23\00:17:52.57
And people
appreciate the easiness
00:17:52.60\00:17:53.94
and the
simplicity of the recipes.
00:17:54.00\00:17:55.47
That's why I want
to have it on tape...
00:17:55.50\00:17:58.31
because I think
people will appreciate it
00:17:58.34\00:18:00.61
because you don't
want to have to cook
00:18:00.64\00:18:02.78
for long periods
of time and have stuff
00:18:02.81\00:18:05.15
so now, what
about... you're doing also
00:18:05.21\00:18:07.52
for our Kids Network at 3ABN...
00:18:07.55\00:18:09.92
you're doing a Kids' Cook:30.
00:18:09.98\00:18:12.29
Jeremy: Yes, that's right.
Yvonne: Tell us about that.
00:18:12.32\00:18:13.66
Brenda Walsh asked me
to do a Cook:30 for kids
00:18:13.69\00:18:15.52
and I'm like...
"Whew cooking with... "
00:18:15.56\00:18:17.76
people have warned me
about working with kids before
00:18:17.79\00:18:19.46
but I've... I thought,
"I'll give it a go... "
00:18:19.49\00:18:21.73
and we've just finished...
finished taping them...
00:18:21.76\00:18:24.00
and that was a... the
most incredible adventure,
00:18:24.03\00:18:25.80
so having two or three
children in the kitchen with me,
00:18:25.83\00:18:28.40
it was a blast...
00:18:28.44\00:18:29.94
it was the most fun I've ever
had... cooking with children,
00:18:29.97\00:18:32.31
and in some stage we've
had three children here,
00:18:32.34\00:18:34.98
one is chopping here... one
is putting stuff in the blender,
00:18:35.01\00:18:37.05
one is stirring things there,
00:18:37.08\00:18:38.41
I'm getting
stuff from the fridge,
00:18:38.45\00:18:39.78
we're just
scrambling around the kitchen
00:18:39.81\00:18:41.15
having so much fun...
pulling all these meals together
00:18:41.18\00:18:43.75
and it's a... it
was a great experience
00:18:43.79\00:18:45.72
and trained...
the kids can do it.
00:18:45.75\00:18:47.26
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and that's another thing
00:18:47.32\00:18:48.82
because you can create memories
00:18:48.86\00:18:51.09
in the kitchen with
your kids. Jeremy: Exactly.
00:18:51.13\00:18:53.23
So, what kinds of menus
did you have for the kids?
00:18:53.26\00:18:55.33
So we decided... we weren't
going to just do simple kid food
00:18:55.36\00:18:58.30
so we wanted to make sure to
show the children how to do...
00:18:58.33\00:19:01.20
use actual... prepare
restaurant-quality meals,
00:19:01.24\00:19:03.77
how to use a sharp knife,
00:19:03.81\00:19:05.57
how to cook on a
pan using boiling water,
00:19:05.61\00:19:08.78
actually... we've even
dumbed it down to like...
00:19:08.81\00:19:11.61
literally... because we
wanted to show them real stuff,
00:19:11.65\00:19:14.12
real ingredients they can use...
00:19:14.15\00:19:15.48
real flavors and things...
00:19:15.52\00:19:16.85
so they can actually get
more experience in cooking
00:19:16.89\00:19:19.12
and so, it's a... it's a
really, really fun program.
00:19:19.15\00:19:22.52
Ah... that's so good...
so make sure you tune into
00:19:22.56\00:19:25.59
Kids' Cook:30...
right? Kids' Cook:30...
00:19:25.63\00:19:28.73
on the Kids' Network of 3ABN...
00:19:28.76\00:19:30.47
Yes, yes...
00:19:30.50\00:19:31.83
So, what would you say have
been the greatest experiences
00:19:31.87\00:19:35.87
that you've had as
far as helping people
00:19:35.90\00:19:38.81
with eating healthy?
00:19:38.84\00:19:40.18
Yeah, I suppose one of the
things that really humbles me
00:19:40.21\00:19:42.94
is that... every week I get
multiple e-mails from people
00:19:42.98\00:19:46.01
saying, "Look, you just
helped me... I've started...
00:19:46.05\00:19:49.05
I've just found your cookbook
and our health has improved... "
00:19:49.08\00:19:51.05
"My diabetes has improved... "
00:19:51.09\00:19:52.79
"My family now wants
to eat healthy food... "
00:19:52.82\00:19:55.62
so, I'm just in awe of every...
00:19:55.66\00:19:58.33
people call me
up crying... saying,
00:19:58.36\00:20:00.03
how eating food has
just changed their lives
00:20:00.10\00:20:02.26
in such an amazing way
00:20:02.30\00:20:04.07
and it truly does impact
your health and your life,
00:20:04.13\00:20:07.54
I mean, how can we be...
if we wake up every morning
00:20:07.57\00:20:10.27
on caffeine and just
running around being grumpy,
00:20:10.31\00:20:12.97
how are we going
to pick the Word...
00:20:13.01\00:20:14.34
how is God going to use us?
00:20:14.38\00:20:16.14
We're just going to
be a drain on Society
00:20:16.18\00:20:17.71
so getting people to eat
healthy, they suddenly...
00:20:17.75\00:20:20.12
not do they become
healthy and live longer,
00:20:20.18\00:20:22.48
have more energy and vitality,
00:20:22.52\00:20:23.85
but they can start
planning, setting goals,
00:20:23.89\00:20:25.52
doing the important
things in their lives
00:20:25.55\00:20:27.56
and until you get
your health sorted out,
00:20:27.59\00:20:29.26
there's no way you can...
you can kind of do those things
00:20:29.29\00:20:31.53
so, it's... it's why I think
it's really, really important
00:20:31.56\00:20:33.93
so the feedback I get has
just... just been incredible
00:20:33.96\00:20:36.30
and every... every
lunch time in my Cafe...
00:20:36.33\00:20:38.50
it's just...
queue is at the door...
00:20:38.53\00:20:41.00
and most of the people
that come to my restaurants
00:20:41.04\00:20:43.04
or Cafes... let's
change the word...
00:20:43.07\00:20:45.87
Yeah...
00:20:45.91\00:20:47.24
Are meat-eaters...
00:20:47.28\00:20:48.61
they're not people
that are just super healthy
00:20:48.64\00:20:50.85
or vegetarian...
they're just... meat-eaters,
00:20:50.88\00:20:53.15
people appreciate coming in and
having healthy food so I've just
00:20:53.18\00:20:55.38
when I look at that and see
the queue of people lined up
00:20:55.42\00:20:57.69
for this vegetarian,
healthy food, it just...
00:20:57.72\00:21:00.26
it's just awesome...
it's just an amazing feeling
00:21:00.29\00:21:02.62
that my little dream can
impact people in so many ways.
00:21:02.66\00:21:05.89
Isn't it amazing how
God can put a passion
00:21:05.93\00:21:09.60
in your heart for something
00:21:09.63\00:21:12.00
because you weren't
even in cooking before.
00:21:12.03\00:21:13.94
Yeah, exactly... exactly.
00:21:13.97\00:21:15.30
It's not like you
grew up loving to cook,
00:21:15.34\00:21:17.11
you weren't even cooking before
00:21:17.14\00:21:18.71
and then God put
this passion in your heart
00:21:18.74\00:21:22.41
and now... people's
lives are being impacted
00:21:22.44\00:21:26.05
as a result of the dream
that God has put in your heart.
00:21:26.08\00:21:29.25
I always say the prayer,
"God, I want you to use me,
00:21:29.28\00:21:31.52
I want to do
something different... "
00:21:31.55\00:21:32.89
I was... enjoying my job,
I had a really stable life,
00:21:32.92\00:21:34.69
I'm like, "God, it would
have to be something more... "
00:21:34.72\00:21:36.59
I just prayed for Him
to lead me into something
00:21:36.62\00:21:38.93
and step by
step, He just led me...
00:21:38.96\00:21:40.80
circumstances and
before you know it,
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.43
I was in this
amazing whirlwind adventure.
00:21:42.46\00:21:45.60
And your cookbook is
fabulous, it's beautiful,
00:21:45.63\00:21:48.74
how can people get it?
00:21:48.77\00:21:50.74
Ah, you get it from
3ABN, or buy it on Amazon
00:21:50.81\00:21:54.01
so the ABCs have it...
00:21:54.04\00:21:56.41
so there are lots of...
lots of ways you can get it.
00:21:56.44\00:21:57.78
Yvonne: What's it called?
So I've got about two series...
00:21:57.81\00:21:59.65
I've got the
"Revive Cafe Cookbook"
00:21:59.68\00:22:01.42
so each year in my Cafes,
00:22:01.48\00:22:02.88
we release new
recipes and the menu...
00:22:02.92\00:22:05.89
and basically, I do a
"Revive Cafe Cookbook"
00:22:05.92\00:22:07.92
then there's also
the Cook:30 series,
00:22:07.96\00:22:09.62
which is basically...
based on the TV Programs.
00:22:09.66\00:22:12.69
What's been your
favorite menu to cook,
00:22:12.73\00:22:16.90
you're favorite... what
is your favorite food...
00:22:16.93\00:22:20.40
like... not
just... like your dinner?
00:22:20.44\00:22:23.51
What do you do for dinner?
00:22:23.54\00:22:24.87
My favorite dinner... I just
love making up a little Stir
00:22:24.91\00:22:27.84
Fry, often I'll come in home
and I'll basically get a pan
00:22:27.88\00:22:30.95
and just get some
onions and garlic cooking...
00:22:31.01\00:22:32.38
Oh! I love that smell...
00:22:32.41\00:22:34.02
Then I'll think,
"Okay, what shall I cook now?"
00:22:34.05\00:22:36.08
that's just my starting
point, and I'll add some ginger,
00:22:36.12\00:22:38.62
some Thai curry paste and
just some nice vegetables...
00:22:38.65\00:22:41.19
whatever I bought from
the veggie shop that day...
00:22:41.22\00:22:43.69
some nice
protein like some tofu,
00:22:43.73\00:22:45.86
just some beautiful flavors,
some nice wholesome foods
00:22:45.89\00:22:48.83
with fresh vegetables
00:22:48.86\00:22:50.20
and to finish it
off, I love a smoothie.
00:22:50.23\00:22:52.20
Oh...
00:22:52.23\00:22:53.57
That's my favorite
thing to have as dessert...
00:22:53.60\00:22:54.94
just some frozen
fruit from the freezer,
00:22:54.97\00:22:56.34
a banana, a little
bit of almond milk,
00:22:56.37\00:22:58.07
you got yourself an
instant healthy dessert,
00:22:58.11\00:23:00.41
so that's kind of my
go-to combination at home.
00:23:00.44\00:23:02.68
Yeah... yeah...
yeah... what about...
00:23:02.74\00:23:04.48
what about your
wife, what does she like?
00:23:04.51\00:23:05.85
She likes
everything that I cook,
00:23:05.88\00:23:07.42
well, she says
she does, anyway...
00:23:07.45\00:23:08.95
Yvonne: Does she cook at home?
00:23:08.98\00:23:10.32
She does, she's
a wonderful cook.
00:23:10.35\00:23:11.69
I'm normally
trying to get in there,
00:23:11.72\00:23:13.42
trying to get something
new for my next cookbook
00:23:13.46\00:23:15.02
so, I kind of take
over the kitchen...
00:23:15.06\00:23:16.39
which she loves... no worries,
00:23:16.42\00:23:17.79
she loves to eat, she
loves things very fresh,
00:23:17.83\00:23:20.60
so she loves lots of
fresh vegetables and things...
00:23:20.66\00:23:23.37
she's always like,
"Jeremy, put some more
00:23:23.43\00:23:24.77
fruits and vegetables"
she goes to the fridge
00:23:24.80\00:23:26.13
and dredges it...
put some broccoli in,
00:23:26.17\00:23:27.50
put some of this as well so...
00:23:27.54\00:23:28.87
that's... I
think she's wonderful.
00:23:28.90\00:23:30.34
Ah, that's good, now
you have another product
00:23:30.41\00:23:33.38
called... something that
I have fallen in love with,
00:23:33.41\00:23:37.25
I have to tell you,
I love Frooze Balls...
00:23:37.28\00:23:40.32
tell our Viewers what those are.
00:23:40.35\00:23:42.82
And this is another
little adventure that came,
00:23:42.85\00:23:44.42
so I started this Cafe and
we made this product called
00:23:44.45\00:23:46.65
"Bliss Balls" which
is a fruit and nut ball
00:23:46.69\00:23:48.32
and in the Cafe
my staff would put
00:23:48.36\00:23:50.63
fruit and nuts
in a food processor,
00:23:50.66\00:23:52.89
you see... much
like this one over here,
00:23:52.93\00:23:54.30
and basically blend it up
and roll it into little balls
00:23:54.33\00:23:56.97
and so you've got these
lovely little... kind of
00:23:57.00\00:23:58.33
you have truffle-type
things... fruit and nut balls
00:23:58.37\00:24:01.90
and they sell
really well in the Cafe
00:24:01.97\00:24:04.21
but my staff hated rolling them
00:24:04.27\00:24:06.01
and we were breaking
all those food processors
00:24:06.04\00:24:07.84
with the hard nuts
and I had a friend,
00:24:07.88\00:24:09.51
a pretty good
friend who said to me,
00:24:09.54\00:24:11.25
"I can make a
machine to make those... "
00:24:11.28\00:24:12.91
so he did... and we
started a little company and...
00:24:12.95\00:24:16.79
He made a machine to
actually crush the nuts
00:24:16.82\00:24:20.22
that are in there and...
00:24:20.26\00:24:21.59
Yes... so we blend them up first
00:24:21.62\00:24:22.96
and we put them in this
little machine that basically
00:24:22.99\00:24:24.89
forms them and presses them
00:24:24.93\00:24:26.26
and all these little
balls come out of them,
00:24:26.29\00:24:27.63
it's an amazing
little machine. Yvonne: Wow.
00:24:27.66\00:24:29.40
And we started a little
company and started selling them
00:24:29.43\00:24:31.53
in some of the health shops,
and a couple of years later
00:24:31.60\00:24:33.67
we started selling
them to the Super Markets
00:24:33.70\00:24:35.20
and it's now a big
selling product in New Zealand
00:24:35.24\00:24:37.71
so, and they come in...
you would do a cranberry one,
00:24:37.74\00:24:40.14
a banana one, an apricot...
00:24:40.18\00:24:41.51
an original one and we've
now got a peanut butter one
00:24:41.54\00:24:43.98
and they are just
amazing little snacks.
00:24:44.01\00:24:46.15
I'll tell you
what... the cranberry ones...
00:24:46.18\00:24:48.28
oh my goodness... I'm like...
00:24:48.35\00:24:50.99
you brought some over here
and I got to get some samples
00:24:51.02\00:24:55.22
and so... I'm just
so hooked on it and so
00:24:55.29\00:24:58.09
Jill brought me...
like several of them...
00:24:58.13\00:25:00.93
and I stuffed them in my drawer,
00:25:00.96\00:25:02.63
oh, they are
delicious, they are delicious
00:25:02.66\00:25:05.53
and... it's so good
to have alternatives
00:25:05.57\00:25:08.37
instead of eating sugar,
cane sugar and stuff like that,
00:25:08.40\00:25:12.61
this is sweetened naturally...
00:25:12.64\00:25:14.44
It's just fruit and
nuts... blended together,
00:25:14.48\00:25:16.54
it's just a very, very
healthy way of having some.
00:25:16.58\00:25:17.95
The dates... you
sweeten with dates?
00:25:17.98\00:25:19.31
Yeah, dates is a
very sweet product
00:25:19.35\00:25:20.68
we use just dried
dates, dried cranberries
00:25:20.72\00:25:23.02
and some... some
cashew nuts and almonds.
00:25:23.05\00:25:25.52
It's so good... I think
I'm salivating right now.
00:25:25.55\00:25:28.42
What is your vision for...
this is a ministry for you...
00:25:28.46\00:25:33.93
what is your
vision for your ministry?
00:25:34.00\00:25:37.00
Um... vision...
yes... big world vision...
00:25:37.03\00:25:39.17
I'm not sure... I want to just
keep... just keep doing stuff,
00:25:39.20\00:25:41.90
I'm already
fine doing cookbooks,
00:25:41.94\00:25:45.04
doing these TV
Programs and Cafes...
00:25:45.07\00:25:47.14
so I'd love to
experiment in Cafes,
00:25:47.18\00:25:49.21
I'd love to offer some help...
00:25:49.24\00:25:50.58
because a lot of
people come to me and say
00:25:50.61\00:25:52.21
they want to open a
vegetarian restaurant,
00:25:52.25\00:25:54.12
and a lot of people
have tried and failed,
00:25:54.15\00:25:55.98
I know how easy
it is, it's very...
00:25:56.02\00:25:57.55
it's a very... the
Hospitality Industry
00:25:57.59\00:25:59.45
is a very difficult
Industry. Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:25:59.49\00:26:01.02
And I need to define this,
00:26:01.06\00:26:02.46
so I'd love to be able to get
a model out and franchise it out
00:26:02.49\00:26:04.39
so we get little
"Revives" popping up,
00:26:04.43\00:26:06.59
so people can
actually fulfill their dream
00:26:06.63\00:26:08.73
of doing kind of a
health ministry kind of Cafe,
00:26:08.76\00:26:11.63
but do it without all
the financial pressures
00:26:11.67\00:26:13.84
and all the business
pressures that come with it
00:26:13.87\00:26:15.40
because there are huge pressures
00:26:15.44\00:26:16.77
so I'd love to somehow be
able to... expand the influence
00:26:16.81\00:26:19.31
and get people to be
more involved in this,
00:26:19.34\00:26:21.61
so that's kind of
my project coming up.
00:26:21.64\00:26:23.81
So, would you do...
like a mentoring program
00:26:23.85\00:26:26.51
where you're
helping people to develop...
00:26:26.58\00:26:28.92
Something like that... yeah...
00:26:28.98\00:26:30.32
or some kind of a
franchise-type agreement
00:26:30.35\00:26:32.22
where people kind of... they get
recipes and all the instructions
00:26:32.25\00:26:34.36
and they set it up and
run it... type of thing, so...
00:26:34.39\00:26:36.56
That's wonderful.
00:26:36.59\00:26:37.93
I love to... yeah... because
the health ministry is really...
00:26:37.96\00:26:40.43
an important part of what
God wants us to look after
00:26:40.50\00:26:43.33
so we have to... empowering
other people to do it...
00:26:43.37\00:26:46.20
in a really real way, so...
00:26:46.23\00:26:47.57
Oh, that's so
good, that's so good,
00:26:47.64\00:26:49.80
now how long are you
going to be in the States?
00:26:49.84\00:26:51.67
I'm here just for
three weeks this time
00:26:51.71\00:26:53.61
and then back to
New Zealand so...
00:26:53.64\00:26:55.68
I really love to come to
the States, it's a great...
00:26:55.71\00:26:58.21
I love being in Thompsonville,
00:26:58.28\00:26:59.68
this is such a
lovely, peaceful place here,
00:26:59.71\00:27:01.92
all the corn fields
and the soy fields...
00:27:01.95\00:27:04.15
it's just a...
lovely peaceful place
00:27:04.19\00:27:05.59
and we love coming over.
00:27:05.62\00:27:06.96
Well, we love having you here
00:27:06.99\00:27:08.32
and we really
appreciate all that you do
00:27:08.36\00:27:10.49
because what you're
offering is such a blessing
00:27:10.53\00:27:14.63
and you're doing so
many different things with it
00:27:14.66\00:27:18.27
and we really appreciate
it, so thank you so much.
00:27:18.30\00:27:21.54
Thanks for having me.
00:27:21.60\00:27:22.94
God bless
you... Jeffrey: Thanks.
00:27:22.97\00:27:24.31
Yvonne: Yeah...
00:27:24.34\00:27:25.67
I don't know about you
00:27:25.71\00:27:28.41
but I'm looking
forward to trying
00:27:28.44\00:27:30.15
some of those
delicious gourmet meals.
00:27:30.18\00:27:31.98
There are currently two
cookbooks available for purchase
00:27:32.01\00:27:34.85
Cook:30 and Cook:30.2
00:27:34.88\00:27:36.82
both of these
cookbooks are the best cookbooks
00:27:36.85\00:27:39.65
that I have ever
seen in my life...
00:27:39.69\00:27:41.66
trust me, I am
not just saying that.
00:27:41.69\00:27:43.59
The cookbooks come
with very vivid pictures
00:27:43.63\00:27:46.09
and step-by-step
instructions to help you prepare
00:27:46.16\00:27:49.50
a nutritious and delicious
meal in only 30 minutes.
00:27:49.53\00:27:52.47

00:27:52.50\00:27:55.40
join us next time and remember
00:27:55.44\00:27:57.24
it just wouldn't be
the same... without you.
00:27:57.27\00:27:59.54
