Introducing Peter Gordon's signature 'Festival of Food' 2035 Oceania Summit menu

When we first began to build the 2035 Oceania Summit programme last year, showcasing New Zealand's finest and most sustainable food was a core part of the planning. We commissioned renowned kiwi chef, author and bake-off judge, Peter Gordon, to curate a menu with a low to neutral carbon footprint that would deliver a delicious and unforgettable delegate experience.

Supported by the Summit's key Festival of Food sponsors, ecogas and Fonterra, Peter has delivered. Seriously. Below, you can view some of the signature dishes that will be served over the two days of the Summit.

We are hugely grateful for the support of some of New Zealand's most sustainable producers; Greenlea Meats, Bostock Organic Free Range Chicken, LuminoFreedom Farms and Australia's V2 for their support in providing sustainable protein. Plus the many smaller, boutique producers who have provided incredible ingredients to make up Peter's outstanding menu.

Some final combinations may change, but the amazing taste and delegate experience won't. Conference food will never taste the same again!
