In this extra special episode, we record live from the iconic Christchurch Food Festival, on the beautiful South Coast. Here I sit down with chefs, who some of you may recognise from previous episodes – BBQ legends Sam and Shauna and baker extraordinaire and total bread genius, Richard Bertinet.

I’m also joined by Philip Lowery, Founder and Director of Real Food Festival and one of the people who runs Christchurch. We chat about festival highlights, the importance of food festivals and how they open us to new foods and so much more.
