We were so excited and proud to hear that our AMAZING founder & owner, Kaz was recognised in the New Years Honour’s List for her service to the Food Industry.

Kaz has tirelessly poured her heart and soul into building pure delish from a small seasonal festive cake business in 1997 through to the flourishing enterprise it is today, employing around 30 staff and still handmaking our range of super-premium cereals, snack bars, biscuits/bites and slabs. While pure delish has undergone substantial growth over the past decade, what hasn’t changed is Kaz’s determination to ensure the business holds true to its core values – operating the business with integrity, looking after the health and well-being of staff, leading innovation and pushing the boundaries in their chosen categories.

“It has been an incredible journey so far with a lot of amazing people who have come along for the ride
and played a huge part in growing the business to where it is today.”

Ingredients
raspberry & maple nut nograin-ola
2 cups whipped cream
2 cups vanilla bean coconut yoghurt
