Amazing Artisans: Breakfast Bites - Featuring Primrose, Founder of Primroses Kitchen and Henny, Founder of ROAR! Porridge Pods

We’re all a bunch of breakfastaholics here at Kitchen Table Projects, so were super excited to chat to  this week’s Amazing Artisans, Primrose and Henny, about their quirky takes on a breakfast staples. In a double Amazing Artisan Feature, Primrose and Henny tell us all about the startup journeys that took their brainwaves to the bowl. Remember, this blog post is only an artisan snap shot - you can find the full interviews with Primrose and Henny, as well as the rest of our amazing artisans on our website, right here!

Primrose, Primroses Kitchen
Primrose started her business with a background in naturopathy and homeopathy, and used her knowledge and experience in food and nutrition as a starting point for her unique muesli. Her cereal is full of fab flavours, incorporating unusual ingredients such as beetroot and carrot to create a colourful and novel tasting product that's super good for you, too. Motivated to start her own business by her passion for health and fitness, Primrose told us she really wanted to do something everyday that she 'loved...inspired [her]'. She loves the creativity that comes with running your own business, as well as the flexibility that allows her 'to go for a walk with the dog when I wanted to, or being able to have an afternoon off if the sun is shining.' Most of all, like all our artisans, she loves getting positive feedback from her customers, and thinks its great to see people everyday enjoying her product. She has since expanded her range to raw nut butters and a variety of nutritional powders and remains committed to encouraging a healthy lifestyle in line with the principles of Naturopathy.

Henny, ROAR! Porridge Pods
Henny started her business when she got fed up with the 'added sugar' breakfast pots that you regularly see on the shelves of the supermarket. She saw a gap in the market for a breakfast pots that were both 'delicious and healthy', so headed to the kitchen to concoct the Porridge Pods you see today. With a background in catering and design, Henny saw a natural progression towards starting her own business, wanting 'to create a business I could be proud of and work for myself around a lifestyle I wanted.' Henny knew it wasn't going to be easy; 'The hours are varied and there's certainly no 9-5, but it's very different when you are working for yourself.' Putting in the extra hours means it's extra rewarding, and she says that she loves that '[Your business is] all yours and you make every decision. When it works it's an incredible feeling. ' We couldn't agree more; we really appreciate how hard artisans work and think it's really important for them to get the recognition they deserve.
