We bring you face-to-face with superstar chefs

Cooking demonstrations from the very best Kiwi and international chefs - a unique feature of The Food Show where you can witness the Big Names cooking live, learn crucial techniques, pick up top tips, and get inspired to produce culinary magic.

At The Food Show we’re big on small-scale, artisan producers

You'll find plenty of wonderful foods made by dedicated artisan producers - that is, people who make traditional or specialist goods on a small scale and often by hand. The results are deliciously different from mass-produced.
