The Food Show

Overview

There is not one day more exciting for foodies throughout New Zealand, than the day that The Food Show comes to town. The Show has become a nationally acclaimed event, and a day for a range of culinary skill levels to come together and chat about the one thing that links them: a passion for food. The country’s largest and most attended food-related exhibition provides culinary Kiwis country-wide the opportunity to gather under one roof for a full-on food phenomenon.

Tens of thousands of New Zealanders attended the event last year, and the show received unanimous positive feedback. Foodies the nation over come together to buy the best and most current kitchen equipment, and watch celebrity chefs demonstrate their cooking skills. Chelsea Winters and Karena and Kasey from Masterchef are amongst the talented chefs who will be showing attendees how to prepare some of their favourite meals. If you’re not in the market for non-stick frypans, or if you missed Masterchef 2014 (your loss), then it’s likely you’ll be heading along to The Show for the samples. Don’t be ashamed. We all know food sampling is the highlight of these things. And at The Food Show there is no shortage of food and drink tasting. Featuring the best of local and international foods, wines, beers and coffees, the tickets to the show should come with a food coma guarantee.

What’s more, this year the event falls on Mother’s Day. Buying for Mum is tricky. Her stack of scented candles is Everest-like and you’ve run out of decent pictures to fill all those empty decorative frames. Tickets to The Food Show will guarantee her a Mother’s Day she won’t soon forget.
