Ganesh Raj and Mike Van de Elzen return for a new season of Eat Well For Less NZ.
REVIEW: “How can you say that with a straight face?” For all the potential economic, culinary and nutritional advice the first series of
Eat Well For Less offered, this is what I took away from it. A beautifully timed one-liner, delivered with panache by the lifestyle series’ co-host Ganesh Raj. While I had some reservations about the series, especially the New Zealand-version’s sponsorship by a certain supermarket chain, it’s easy to see why it was the second-most watched TVNZ1 show (behind only the Election “leader’s debate”).

What would it take for you to make smarter choices when it comes to supermarket shopping? If you had more money and more time would you buy healthier food items with the intention of creating delicious meals at home? I would. Or at least I think I would. I have fantasies of creating beautiful salads with fancy cheeses, exotic dressings, hard-to-find grains, expensive nuts and char-grilled vegetables. However, it turns out having more cash to spend on food is no guarantee you will make sensible choices for the sake of your health and your wallet.
