Safe Food
Pip’s interest in food safety, nutrition and education underpins her successful career working in the Hospitality and Food Service sector. In June 2023, working with NZ Chefs, she co-ordinated the Global Chefs Pacific Rim semi-finals and the NZ Chefs Championships. Pip was delighted to see so many highly talented chefs competing, totally awesome sponsors and a dedicated team of NZ Chefs members assisting and judging the event. Pip says ‘It was a great team effort. Creating four competition kitchen stations from scratch, for three days, was a huge mission and food safety was a major consideration in our planning. I hope this illustrates how safe food must be considered whatever the numbers/size of the meal or function.’
This is Pip’s 5th edition of Safe Food, initially she partnered with fellow Food Safety ‘guru’ of the time Liz Fitchett. Pip has co-authored two editions of Professional Foodservice with Julian Jensen, a popular Food Service text with Australian and New Zealand Universities. For Safe Food 5th Edition Pip has again joined forces with Julian to produce an edition which acknowledges our post Covid 19 lockdown world
Pip’s and Julian’s achievements, as Food, Nutrition and Food Safety Consultants, working across sectors at have achieved many accolades including Awards of Excellence, Service Awards and Life Memberships for sector organisations.
Hospitality is all about being a great host, delivering a great experience, but most importantly, doing it safely.
Food safety is a critical, if hidden, component in providing food. It is easy to concentrate on customer service and the presentation on the plate because that is the fun bit and what excites the customer.
Not getting the food safety piece right will leave a lingering customer experience that will be unpleasant, and can put the whole business at risk.
This resource is an important and useful tool to ensure ALL staff, not only understand the importance of keeping food safe for service, but also have the tools to do so.
Having this tool online makes it more available and accessible which can only enhance uptake and keep New Zealanders and our visitors safe.

Te Mana Kounga Kai – Ahitereiria me Aotearoa - Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is pleased to be associated with this book. Translating the often complicated science and facts behind food safety into everyday language isn’t easy, but it is very important.
Food safety is a critical dimension in foodservice. In Aotearoa, it’s how we manaaki (respect) our manuhiri (guests) and thus how we protect the mana (reputation) of our Kai and our businesses that serve them. Playing your part in the team is essential and this book explains how you can go about this and why it matters.
Pip and Julian have created a valuable resource at all in hospo should be familiar with.
