Fresh bakery treats: Gorgeous Food
When a recipe is so perfect, why would anyone change it?
Especially delicious baking passed down by grandma, with a loyal customer following.
A busy family, now operating Gorgeous Food Specialist Bakery in Springs Road since July, continues the local legacy.
“We were so lucky to find such a good business, owned by really good people,” says co-owner Dana Chap. “Joanne and Peter, who had the bakery for 17 years, are really lovely, and always there to help us with any questions.”
The pastry is now homemade on site, while keeping all the same favourites – from the scrumptious sausage rolls to mama’s fudge that everyone loves. Proud of their pies – “there’s more of the slow-cooked beef and less gravy” – the new beef and cheese, lamb and kumara with cheese, and a butter chicken pie, are delicious additions.
Dana and her husband Chanly juggle the new venture with their three-month-old. “We call her Maisy Baker,” she laughs. “My brother-in-law Ethan makes the slices, and my sister, Sam, who are in the shop with me, coincidently have a two-month old daughter, Alita.”
Dana was a catering cook for Woolworths in Auckland, so the catering side of Gorgeous Food is also sizzling.
