Providing delicious jams for guests was the initial inspiration for Nathan Lewis' preserve making endeavours when he was running a bed and breakfast in Auckland.
He now runs a side business making jams, jellies and chutney's using seasonal fruits and vegetables. His Dovecote House brand specialises in using goods normally associated with the home garden such as rhubarb, gooseberry and quince. The range of sauces, relishes and marmalades stretches into the dozens of flavour combinations.
