Meet Luke 👋 One of the newest faces in our Waipapa team and already a firm favourite with his customers!

Luke joined us around three and a half months ago as an Account Manager, bringing plenty of experience from the liquor and hospitality industries along with a great understanding of what it’s like on the other side of the table.

He’s full of positive energy, knows hospitality inside and out, and has quickly built some pretty great relationships with his customers across the Far North.

We’re stoked to have you on the team Luke! 💚

Fennel ~ One of those ingredients that can completely change depending on how you use it 🌿

Fresh and crisp with a delicate sweetness and subtle anise flavour, it’s a great one for spring menus. Shave it finely into salads and slaws, roast or caramelise the bulb for something sweeter, or use the fronds as a fresh finishing touch.

Even better, there’s very little waste – the bulb, stalks, fronds, flowers and seeds can all earn their place in the kitchen.
Beautiful alongside citrus, seafood, pork and duck, or simply roasted and served as a seasonal side.

Fresh fennel available now through MyBidfood 🚛☀

🍊 Make the most of tangelos from zest to juice!

Sweet, juicy and full of vibrant citrus flavour, tangelos are a versatile addition to any menu. Use the juice in dressings, marinades, cocktails and desserts, add the zest to baking and savoury dishes, or candy, dry and infuse the peel.

More flavour, more creativity and less waste. 🌿♻️

It’s National Cheeseburger Day… 🍔🍔🍔 So today’s Friday Fave really had to involve a good burger. And when it comes to local favourites, Burger Fiasko in Kerikeri knows exactly what they’re doing.

Self-described as an “Anti Craft Burger Restaurant,” Burger Fiasko keeps things refreshingly simple, fresh meat and veggies, burgers made daily and plenty of big, satisfying flavour.

Right in the heart of Kerikeri, it’s the kind of local spot that proves a great burger doesn’t need to be complicated.

So if there was ever a day to add a cheeseburger to the lunch or dinner plans, we think this might be it.

Happy National Cheeseburger Day burger lovers! 🍔💕🍻
