Whether it's dumplings, butter chicken or bratwurst, the New Zealand food scene has been enriched by food that travelled here along with new immigrants. But in the process, many dishes have also been created reflecting both a family's unique culture and background. With this in mind, five of New Zealand's top chefs share their favourite recipes that you can try to cook over summer, feeding friends and family.
From: Jeff Tan, Executive Chef, Huami SkyCity Auckland
Dish: Black Pepper Beef
Why he chose this dish:
"When I think of New Zealand, beef is one of the main things that come to mind. Usually over summer, people will have them on the barbecue. I know over the years that I have been a chef, black pepper seasoning is very popular and people of all ethnicities and nationalities like it. So I am sharing this recipe so everyone can have a go at having their beef a little different, and a fresh option to impress their friends."
