Kia Ora

Well hõtoke (winter) is here.

And time for preparing and enjoying great food with family, friends and whanau around the country or at home .

Light the fire, open a nice bottle of New Zealand wine and share some of your favourite warming dishes to brighten up a winter's day or night.

Whether a roast, a casserole, a pie, a soup, or a warming and indulgent dessert (like the bread and butter pudding I made recently for a lovely long Sunday lunch) we have many delicious condiments and treats that help your dish special.

And we are adding more artisans and foods to our wide range of artisan foods to inspire you and make your creations extra special. This is a good time to try some new foods, or even just have a few treats. Food is a great way to show and share the love, and it really does feed the soul as well as the belly.

So please check out our food and beverages made here in Aotearoa, with passion by our talented artisans. From chilli sauces to chocolates. Feijoas and fruit pastes. Sweet treats to salts. Vanilla to vinegars. Preserves and peanut butters. Cookies and crackers. And our fabulous olive oils.

And if you can't make up your mind, we regularly curate a range of collections of food to make life a little easier for you! Check them out below.

And a bit further down there's a fabulous video from New Zealand Story ... featuring people that really know their kai. Just to whet your appetite.

Happy cooking. Stay well.

Ka pai.

Food bundles to make it easy.....

If you can't make up your mind what to buy, or are looking for a gift for someone special, then these bundles of foods are worth checking out.

We have put together some rather tasty collections of artisan foods to help you fill the pantry. We have curated these collections from our range of over 400 fine artisan foods from more than 60 passionate artisan food makers.

Most of our artisans have been continued to grow and make their foods. Although some do run out of foods made from their seasonal produce, so please accept our apologise if your first choice is not available. We will always try and substitute with something of similar style and value.

Thank you, and stay well.
