Local Market Tour and Modern Vegetarian Cooking Experience in Northland

Overview

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class, local market tour and home cooked meal with your host Anna. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. The market tour involves Anna showing you the best vendors and talking to you about the local culture. Anna and her family live in a 140-year old Kauri villa that they are slowly renovating. The kitchen is the hub of their home and they have opened it up to make the most of its beautiful original character. Anna enjoys meeting new people and is looking forward to having fun sharing wholesome delicious food together with travelers to the area. After your cooking class you will join the family at the dining table or vine covered deck in the summer time, to enjoy the very meal you have cooked. You may have cooked a vegetarian or vegan barbecue or a meal influenced by middle-eastern, Italian, Asian or Mexican flavors. Dessert will include pudding, cake, tart or homemade ice cream.

Activity itinerary

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet Anna at either the Saturday or Sunday market in Kerikeri. They are lively open outdoor markets. Walk through the market and explore with Anna regional produce sold by her favorite vendors at the market. You will also purchase a few ingredients that you will use during your cooking class after the market tour. Your market tour will last about one hour. Afterwards, return to Anna's home and join her in her spacious kitchen to learn to cook a gourmet vegetarian meal from recipes that she has created herself. Your hands-on internationally inspired cooking class will last from 2 to 4 hours depending on the cuisine you choose. You will learn to cook all the dishes from scratch. Anna offers classes on various foods and cuisines including breads, seasonal salads, internationally inspired meals, probiotic health drinks and fermenting. Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with Anna.
