LOCAL FOOD TASTING SESSIONS

- A taste of Matakana - 

Picture
Not everyone can make it to the famous Matakana Village Farmer's Market on a Saturday.  But that is no reason to miss out on the opportunity to discover some of our regions finest taste sensations.

Matakana Coast is a large area stretching from Puhoi to Pakiri. Within this area we have a number of artisan food producers. Over the past 10 years we have developed close relationships with many of these people. We have such admiration for their commitment to their products and the love and passion they  put into their land, plants and animals.  It reminds us of the time we spent in Tuscany and the joy both producers and consumers found in eating real food, from the earth, nurtured with pride and prepared with love. 

We have a collection of Food producers whose products we love to use in our cookery classes and events, as they are superb - the best in their league - there is no other way to describe them really.

At The Local Food Kitchen we can offer you an opportunity to come into the kitchen and dining room to taste and learn about some of these products.

Tasting Sessions:
These are best for groups and must be booked in advance, as we use the kitchen for many different events through the week.
​We can accommodate groups of 4 - 12. Tasting sessions last one hour and cost $45 pp. Chef will take you through a selection of local products so you can taste them,  learn about their provenance, choosing the best products and how to use them.
