Lost in Translation

Join Executive Chef Jonny Taggart and the team at LTD. as they comically bumble their way through classic French cuisine, confusing language and translation with what they know instead. Expect sausage roll meets Pâte en Croute, Chocolate Moose, Beernaise and other almost-there attempts that would make Escoffier roll over in his grave. Prepare yourself for the unexpected over four courses (plus snacks). This event cannot cater to dietary requirements

Swaran

Join Chef Dhruv Mohan for an unforgettable evening as he intertwines the rich tapestry of Indian flavours with the landscape of New Zealand, literally laying the maps of India over New Zealand. Drawing inspiration from his extensive travels and culinary experiences across his native India, Dhruv will employ traditional techniques to elevate local produce, mirroring the essence of their Indian counterparts. Melding India's coastal town flavours with ingredients sourced from New Zealand's West Coast and Southland, or the cuisine from the high hills of the Himalayas with the produce of Aoraki - think rawa fried Havelock mussels, kina rasam, and wild tahr seekh kebabs. Each dish a testament to the exploration of flavours that underscores how our lands and waters have shaped our cuisines, as much as the influences of migration and history.
