A taste of home
Originally from Canada, Jodi found herself longing for the warmth of family traditions and the flavours of home after moving to New Zealand. Missing her role as an auntie and baking family treats, she tried to recreate her favourite recipes abroad. And so Auntie Jodi’s Baking Co. was born.
One wet summer weekend, Jodi found herself in the kitchen where she decided to bake a delicious pumpkin pie, then a loaf, realising that the feeling of home was just a slice away. Both items were an instant hit when shared with friends at a dinner party. Encouraged by the positive feedback, Jodi decided to turn her passion for pumpkin spice into a business venture and began on a mission to bring a taste of the northern hemisphere to the south, thus creating Auntie Jodi’s Baking Co.
With love and nostalgia as her guiding forces, Jodi crafted ready-to-go pumpkin baking kits that captured the essence of her Canadian upbringing. Each kit contains all the dry ingredients to create mouth-watering pumpkin treats; featuring dried pumpkin, which takes out the work of needing to roast, then puree a pumpkin to bake with, along with organic spices. “Just add the required wet ingredients such as water, milk and eggs to get baking. Perfect for any foodie or baker of all levels,” says Jodi. “Travel to new territory through the power of your taste buds, all without leaving your kitchen.”
As the crisp air creeps across New Zealand, there's no better time to indulge in the warm enchanting flavours of pumpkin spice. Elevate your taste buds with this North American treat and immerse yourself with Auntie Jodi’s irresistible pumpkin pie and delectable pumpkin loaf. Together, the combination of Auntie’s special spices intertwines with the pumpkin, creating a harmonious blend that is both comforting and indulgent. The natural sweetness of the pumpkin shines through, perfectly complemented by the aromatic spices.
