THE PEELER DIET — SNEAK PEEK

Yes, this looks like it was put together during a lunch break. And that’s being generous. The proper polished version is coming later, I promise — I haven’t completely given up on doing things properly. But you all asked for the recipes, so here they are.

No fancy editing, no fancy budget, just screenshots and a whole lot of enthusiasm. It’s rough around the edges, kind of like me. Everything I demo at the markets — soups, salads, fries, desserts — all made with one peeler and no fancy gadgets.

The full PDF is being sorted out as we speak. I’ll send it through the second it’s ready. For now, enjoy the preview. It might not be pretty, but the food definitely is.

Looking Ahead: A New Chapter

On May 23, 2025, we lost Brendan Lesko to pancreatitis. Brendan was the main public face of our fun, interactive demonstrations — a seasoned professional at his craft with a true silver tongue. He had a way of drawing people in, entertaining crowds, and leaving a lasting impression wherever he went. His presence will always be part of what we do.

Since his passing, I’ve worked hard to regain this page and continue the journey we started together. I’ve always been the one answering your messages, making bookings, and organising shows, and I will carry that forward as we rebuild.

This summer marks a turning point. Next Level Land will be renamed and reshaped with a fresh vision. We’ll begin by focusing on smaller tourist markets, taking steady steps to rebuild. By 2027, the aim is to be back at full steam — appearing at agricultural field days, street festivals, home expos, caravan and camping shows across Australia.

Life isn’t without its battles, but it also gives us the chance to grow stronger and continue what matters most. Thank you to everyone who has stood by and supported us — your encouragement makes the road ahead possible.

Here’s to the next chapter
