This tour combines whale watching with Hapuku Kitchen where the owner & chef Fiona Read will greet you and the magic begins. Fiona will show you where she forages creating focused, uncomplicated yet delicious dishes made from her gardens and local producers. Relax and enjoy the feast you've created with a glass of wine.
Experience a slice of life at Hapuku Kitchen and join chef Fiona in her rural cook's kitchen to prepare and enjoy a simple, seasonal feast inspired by the wild Kaikōura landscape, from ingredients you've harvested and foraged from her extensive garden.
The class begins with an introduction to the kitchen and the menu for the day. This is discussed over a cup of locally roasted coffee or a refreshing drink made from herbs and flowers from the garden. We’ll then embark on a journey around the Hapuku Kitchen property, foraging in the garden for fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Once you have completed the harvest, said “hi” to the pigs and cows, you’ll return to the kitchen and as a group, prepare the various dishes that make up the menu. With help always at hand, you will learn many techniques and tricks on the creation of the dishes of the day.
To finish the day, simply relax and enjoy the feast accompanied with wine or beer from some of Fiona’s favourite Canterbury and Marlborough winemakers and brewers. Delicious home-made non-alcoholic beverages are also available, such as sparkling elderflower and cucumber.
Timing: our private classes can be customised and are often flexible to a time that suits you.
