Taking place in Rotorua now until Sunday, 17 July, the Matariki Dish Challenge and Food Trail aims to highlight the unique New Zealand celebration of Matariki, along with amazing food stories. The event challenges Rotorua’s chefs to learn about the significance of this time of year and create a dish that demonstrates what Matariki means to them.

A selection of eateries have jumped at the chance to challenge and upskill their whole team, to celebrate local ingredients as much as possible, and create an outstanding dish worthy of celebrating, creating the largest Matariki food trail in New Zealand.
