Author talk: Culinary Adventures with Lauraine Jacobs

Step into the story of New Zealand food with Lauraine Jacobs MNZM, one of the country’s most respected food writers.

From treasured recipes and home-grown ingredients to the producers and communities behind our food, she’ll explore how our culinary traditions have evolved and what they reveal about who we are. Expect an entertaining mix of food history, personal insights and stories gathered over Lauraine’s many years writing about New Zealand cuisine — with a taste of her work along the way. For ages 12+. Nibbles and drinks inspired by Lauraine’s recipes will be served. Please advise of any food allergies.
