Enjoy by Kelly Gibney

Updated: Nov 28, 2023



Kelly Gibney is an Auckland-based cook, food stylist, photographer and mother of two who loves to chat, slurp noodles and make friends with dogs. Over the last decade, her recipes and photography have appeared in a variety of newspapers and magazines. Enjoy is her second cookbook, published by Beatnik Publishing, who produce the most beautiful books.


Kelly Gibney enjoys creating delicious family-friendly recipes, that everyone in the family will enjoy. So for Enjoy, we are talking wholesome food, with a touch of nostalgia, and simple recipes that are easy to follow and create. She has cooked and photographed the recipes in her own home, so they have a delightful personal quality to them. And the dishes will take you through the day, with soups and salads, easy dinners and yummy sweet treats.


There are so many fabulous recipes, but how about this for a delicious evening meal:

A Moroccan Lamb Lasagne with a light Hummus and Halloumi Salad for dinner, with a Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding with Raspberries for Dessert?


I love this is a book that celebrates bringing people together around the table. I really enjoy Kelly’s warm and chatty style of writing, and the recipes are so easy and so tasty!
