Taiao: Food of the Gods
Collaborating with MasterChefs Kasey and Karena Bird for Kitchen Takeover, we crafted an experience to honour the Māori deities of the natural world through an immersive blend of soundscapes, lighting, and flavours. The event clinched the title of New Zealand's Best Arts and Culture Event 2021.
Eat Your Memories
The concept of Kitchen Takeover's "Eat Your Memories", which won New Zealand's Best Lifestyle Event revolved around revisiting beloved childhood foods that trigger nostalgic emotions. These foods, like Nana's Sunday roast with all the trimmings, rice bubble squares, or dripping double-scoop hokey pokey ice cream at the beach, hold a special place in our hearts. We crowd sourced a memory of menus across social media and then turned the cherished food memories into a fine-dining experience that transcended time.
