As New Zealand goes into lockdown for four weeks to stop the rapid spread of Covid-19, we may find ourselves lacking ideas on what to do to keep entertained during this whole ordeal. Here at Redcurrent, we'll be sharing our favourite recipes, work from home tips and ways to relax in what is sure to be a stressful time, right here on our blog.
To start off this series, on day one of our isolation we'll be whipping up a batch (or two!) of our Co-Founder Audrey McHardy's infamous, family favourite Tomato Sauce. It's a great way to fill time and sure to go down a treat.
