One thing every mother hopes to do is pass down her own wisdom and values to her daughter, which is something Annabel Langbein has certainly done for her daughter Rose.
But in a wonderful twist on tradition, Annabel, 64, is now receiving a boost of creativity and energy from Rose, 28, which has been a springboard for Annabel to create and diversify when she might otherwise be slowing down.
Already the mother/daughter team has collaborated on successful cookbook Summer at Home and now Rose has new plans for her famous mum.
"I have a lot of energy," laughs Rose as she talks to the Weekly on her screen from Auckland. She is a beautiful young woman, and the picture of health and vitality.
"It's exciting for Mum because she was starting to wind down. Then I was in New York and suggested that we do something together and since then, I've been driving the charge forward."
When Annabel joins us on her screen from her home in Wanaka, Rose explains that she and her mother bring different strengths to their work. Her mother is an "OG hippie", she says. (A quick Google later to clarify it means "old-school hippie".)
Rose explains, "Mum has so much knowledge about plants and food, and she understands the chemistry and science of it.
"I was a young, liberal arts student studying philosophy and ethics in Melbourne, so I have learned more about the world we're living in. I've become increasingly concerned about environmental issues, so I became vegetarian, although I now eat some seafood, and have always been passionate about sustainable practices, so I have come at it from that perspective."
Annabel says she has loved her daughter's "fresh, new vision" and feels like she is returning to her hippie roots.
