Wanaka Podcast S05E02 Feat. Evelyn Vallilee

Evelyn Vallillee owns and runs the Dripping Bowl and Velo Café at Bike Glendhu. Her business ethos is all about whole food, local food, wholesome organics and good ingredients. Her food is adventurous and less conventional; focused on sustenance, free-range, flavourful, nutritional wholefood, and sneaking in the health benefits. Her food is approachable, healthy and delicious. Evelyn grew up in Canada, but calls Aotearoa home. Her parents met in culinary school. She followed in their footsteps by also going to culinary school, and paid her dues in hospitality as she worked her way up the ranks of the game. She talks about her pathway through iconic Wanaka businesses to owning her own gig. She talks of bacon butties and raw treats, freshness and flavours. Evelyn is a master at bundling fun food with health food. She blends comfort and connection in her cuisine; she says you eat with your eyes first. Your taste buds will light up with this chat.
