About this listen

In this episode of Bacon Butty, Daniel sits down with Rose Lawson, the creator of Rose’s Chilli Crisp—a fiery little condiment that’s taken Aotearoa by storm.


Rose shares the deeply personal journey behind the brand: from making terrariums in Melbourne to hand-labelling chilli jars in Waikanae, and the leap from postpartum burnout to gold-medal success. We talk about food as connection, the business of flavour, and why her version of success isn’t about constant growth it’s about community, creativity, and keeping things real.


This is the first full episode of Season 2, focused on the people and flavours of Kāpiti and Horowhenua. (Season 1 continues with new interviews from Wellington. Want to know more about how we’re dividing seasons by place? Check out S02E00 for a quick explainer.)
