This week on the Forkin' Good Podcast, Kate Fenwick and Simon Gault sit down with Nav, the chef behind the soon to open Pink Broccoli cafe.

After a chance encounter with Simon Squibb, who asked Nav one simple question, “What’s your dream?”, her life changed almost overnight. From cooking in the kitchen of a cafe to suddenly preparing to become the owner of her own place, Nav shares the excitement, anxiety, pressure, and reality behind the dream.

In this honest conversation, Nav talks about her journey from Punjab, India, to New Zealand, her love of cooking, the support of her family, the responsibility of stepping into business ownership, and her vision for Pink Broccoli.

There is food, emotion, business advice, cultural inspiration, and plenty of excitement about what is to come.

Follow along as Nav prepares to open Pink Broccoli and bring her dream to life.

This week on the Forkin' Good Podcast, Kate and Simon take a step back from food and dive into something a little deeper… Mother’s Day, family, and the value of time.

They share personal stories about their mums, parenting, and the realities of balancing work, life, and raising kids. From mum guilt and missed moments to the importance of simply being present, this is an honest and relatable conversation about what really matters.

There’s also a powerful reminder that time moves fast. Whether it’s your kids growing up or ageing parents, the moments we often take for granted don’t last forever.

And of course, in true Forkin' Good style, they finish with some simple ideas for creating a special Mother’s Day at home, including an easy, thoughtful breakfast.

If this episode makes you think of someone, maybe it’s time to give them a call.

In this extra special episode of the Forkin’ Good Podcast, we’re unpacking the most unexpected, wholesome, and slightly-unreal thing that happened to us in Auckland…

We met Simon Squibb (yes, that Simon — the “What’s your dream?” guy) and watched a young chef, Nav, go from “one day I want my own café” to “it’s happening” in four days.

Nav’s dream café is called Pink Broccoli — and we’ve been invited to help mentor her through the journey:
🍳 Simon G on the food + chef side
♻️ Kate on waste minimisation + practical sustainability (and a bit of social media support)

This episode is a reminder that most people don’t need millions of dollars… they just need the right help at the right time.

📍 Pink Broccoli (coming soon): 614 Remuera Road, Remuera, Auckland
