2017 Auckland Food Show
Let’s face it, people often inadvertently move in circles. The day at The Food Show, started and ended with donuts.
Donuts from The Pie Piper and Doornuts
The leisurely meander through the halls of The Food Show with foodlovers Genie, Bunny Eats Design and Bri Dimattina Food Adventures entailed many looped routes as we strolled from the Fresh Market to the Healthy Hub to the Artisan Village and everything in between.
Hot and cold smoked Aoraki Salmon

The Olive Lady's green pickled peppers
We tasted and then tasted some more, talking to fellow foodies and producers along the way. Cameras were always at the ready, stallholders became accustomed to displays being rearranged, and products being lined up, always obliging with a smile or friendly banter.
Cameras at the ready for Good Buzz Kombucha
Spotted Morgan from Bonnie Oatcakes helping out at Fix & Fogg stand
Rubs from Wild Fennel Co
Thomson Whisky tastings while we wait for our cooking class to start
We even made ourselves lunch at the Casa BarillaCooking School which was heaps of fun – free but pays to book.
