MEET THE CHEFS

Our chefs are local, creative, resourceful types who have used these attributes to design classes to inspire and to demonstrate how to create simple, tasty and great-looking dishes. We use classic and modern methods of preparing and cooking to present the wonderful produce on offer in our region and in New Zealand.

Jenny Boyne

Once upon a lifetime ago, I was a winemaker before becoming a mother and a wife.
When I was in my twenties I used to pay a flatmate to cook when it was my night! ​I enjoy meeting people and preparing and sharing a meal and I am looking forward to being your Host and assistant kitchen hand.
