Welcome to my channel I am so happy you are here! My name is Shay and I’m a self-taught baker from New Zealand (that little country beside Australia). I started this channel in 2019 while I was on parental leave and needing an outlet for my creativity. I love cooking and everything that relates to food that tastes amazing. You should know that I’m totally obsessed with food. Above all, I love eating food, especially while in the presence of the good company. I truly believe that cooking should be fun and recipes should be easy and flexible to make. So in this blog that’s exactly what you will find – easy recipes that taste amazing! While most of my recipes are around baking I am aiming to provide a good range of recipes, including Indian cuisine. My husband is from Kerala, India and I have learnt to make this tummy happy by learning to cook Kerala food (which I'm also obsessed with). Hope you enjoy my content, Shay

A little bit about me ~ I’m Lizi a 28-year-old kiwi girl who has just finished adventuring around the world! I reentered my Bachelor of Social Work in 2019 after a few years break and am excited to be going into my 4th and final year 2020! I’m trying so very hard to be an adult, but I continue to fail ever so fabulously! I’ve created my youtube channel as a way to express myself creatively and to also do some healing after a rough couple of years. I am a passionate vegan and would really love this wee space of the internet to become a resource for vegan and inspiring vegans to be able to come and find useful information and recipes with a sprinkle of my silly sense of humor! I have personally been vegan for 7 years and have found that a healthy (but flexible) vegan diet helps me to manage my symptoms of pcos. I hope my channel inspires you to be your best self!

Cook-at-Home is an effort to document my vegetarian kitchen. Like any Home Maker, my journey for my kitchen has been and still is about watching, learning and absorbing from various food channels, reading good cookbooks and emulating many a super-Chefs. My aim is to solve the most dreaded question, “What shall I cook today?”. I have shortened or even simplified Grand Mom's recipes to suit a novice, bachelor or a "short on time" kitchen. The recipes are traditional yet contemporary, tasteful enough to be cooked for every single meal, after every tiring day, for pleasure or leisure. I started this channel in Doha, Qatar back in 2015. I shifted to Auckland in 2016. It would be a great pleasure to bond with my website http://cook-at-home.com. Do send me an email at with your comments, observations, and requests Till then Happy Cooking!

Bringing you inspiration via delicious recipes, tips for cooking and buying beef & lamb and updates on industry news in New Zealand. Because we all know good things start with Beef + Lamb! For hundreds of meal ideas visit: www.recipes.co.nz For more information about us visit: www.beeflambnz.co.nz
We use an advanced automated system to collect YouTube influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the YouTube database. Our system identifies the profiles of New Zealand-based YouTube influencers within the food niche by focusing on the following key metrics:
Relevance to food: Our system analyzes each influencer's username, bio, and posts to confirm that their content is related to the food niche.
Location Verification: Our system checks for the inclusion of city or country names in profiles, and where necessary, we analyze flags, localized posts and profile bio data to confirm the influencer's location in New Zealand.
Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles, even if they are New Zealand-based and publish food-related content. Our system only extracts the public profiles of influencers.
Sufficient Number of Posts: Our system picks the influencer accounts that have a consistent history of posts. It proves that the influencer is active and engaged in their content.
Minimum Follower Count: Our system prioritizes New Zealand-based food influencers with a minimum of 5,000 followers.
By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant food influencers located in New Zealand, extracts the data, and adds it to our database. The information is then processed, verified, and classified to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Heepsy uses an Al-powered algorithm to identify the most relevant food YouTube influencers in New Zealand.
Identifying Influencer Location in New Zealand:
Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from New Zealand, or any other reference to New Zealand, we automatically mark the profile as New Zealand-based.
Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to New Zealand, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within New Zealand, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to New Zealand.
Use of Flags and Emblems: In cases when the influencer doesn't mention a specific city or region, we look for flags in the bio that indicates New Zealand or any related symbols suggesting origin from New Zealand.
Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from New Zealand, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within New Zealand.
Identifying food relevance:
Identifying Key Terms: We begin by searching for specific food-related terms, such as 'food' or any other industry terms in an influencers profile (including their name, bio, and posts).
Expanding with Synonyms and Variations: Our algorithm recognizes related terms within the industry and other food specializations. We also account for variations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the influencer's expertise.
Multilingual Detection: To ensure a global reach, we use an Al-based multilingual sentence transformer to detect influencers in different languages, so we don't miss out on valuable food voices around the world.
Assigning Relevance Scores: Each influencer profile is assigned a score based on their relevance to the food category. The higher the score, the more aligned their profile with your campaign needs.
Prioritizing Top Influencers: In our recommendations we prioritize the influencers with the highest relevance scores. This helps us to ensure that the profiles suggested are the best fit for your marketing strategy.
During the location identification process, we assign a score to each YouTube influencer profile that reflects its relevance to food and New Zealand.
Then we use these scores to rank the profiles in our listings. Influencers with higher relevance scores in both categories - food and their connection to New Zealand - are ranked higher in the results.
As a result, when you search for food YouTube influencers in New Zealand in our database, the most relevant profiles appear first. This makes it easier for you to find the best match for your project.
We update our database monthly to ensure you have access to the most current and relevant food YouTube influencers in New Zealand. The profiles listed reflect the latest data as of April 2025.
Our automated system continuously monitors YouTube, tracking changes in follower count, engagement levels, and content activity from food influencers in New Zealand. This ensures that our database remains accurate and relevant and helps you find the best food YouTube influencers in New Zealand for your campaigns at any given time.
