Celebrate summer with chef-quality ingredients, vibrant flavours and creative inspiration for menus that shine this season.

Savouring pork in every style

Pork can be cooked in a multitude of ways, including flash frying, low and slow and sous vide to name just a few. It also pairs beautifully with different flavours, from hot and spicy Asian-inspired dishes, to sticky, honeyed American dishes, and comfort food styles matched with seasonal winter flavours like apples and pears.

Mt Cook Alpine Salmon

Mt Cook Alpine Salmon is every discerning chef’s first choice. Whether served raw or cooked, hot or cold-smoked, this exceptional fish is a true hero on any plate. Its natural richness pairs effortlessly with zesty lemon and salty capers, adds depth to a Thai green curry, and shines in a seared Indian-spiced fillet. From delicate crudo and sushi to hearty pasta dishes and tartars, it is extremely versatile.

Modern Matariki

Look at creating theme nights, or Matariki Feast specials where diners can learn more about this special date and experience its meaning through food. Pair meats like pork and beef, and seafood like salmon, mussels and cockles, with herbs and spices like pikopiko, kawakawa and peppery horopito. Add-ons like fry bread, rewena bread, kūmara, wood ear fungus and mushrooms add texture and flavour.
