Exploring our own backyard is always a delight. And when you do it with food in mind—even better. Chef and Sachie’s Kitchen owner Sachie Nomura has travelled around Aotearoa to find the taste of New Zealand and some special regional delicacies, which she shared with The Post.
- Rotorua—Trout
- Auckland—The Umu
- Coromandel—Seaweed
- Marlborough—Lamb
- Christchurch—Rewena Bread
- Mackenzie Country—Tītī
Hosted by Stuff.co.nz, Sachie’s Kitchen is part cooking show, part travel show, where the chef and cooking school owner meets food and wine producers up and down the country to get the low down on the delicacies from their own backyards. Nomura was surprised how epic her adopted country was when it came to what we produce.
