Taste of Auckland with a Matt Moran Masterclass

  

The highlight of 'Taste of Auckland' this weekend was the masterclass with Matt Moran chef and owner of Aria restaurant in Sydney and Brisbane, and co-host of Australia's Masterchef for Series 3. Check out the video clip of him searing a piece of tuna fish.  He was quite the entertainer!

I have to admit I felt like a teenager about to meet some rockstar - how age changes our priorities.... to good food!

Along with this, we spent a pleasurable three hours indulging in fabulous food from a number of top Auckland restaurants and sampling nibbles from a number of top NZ food producers. Oh, and I forgot to mention the great wine,,, of course couldn't go past the Cloudy Bay stall for some Pelorus bubbles.
