It is with the greatest pleasure that we welcome to Homeland the knowledgeable, wise culinary legend and recent inductee into the 2021 New Zealand Chefs Hall of Fame, Chef Joe McLeod.

Mātua Joe is on a mission to revitalise Aotearoa’s traditional Maori cuisine, and his masterclass will explore the native plants used in the cooking of our indigenous kai.

Drawing on decades of experience you will learn about how native plant flavours can enhance cooking and your health. Joe will also tantalise your tastebuds with amazing natural foods prepared in a traditional way with a modern twist.

Due to ingredient, preparation and labour costs incurred in advance of the class, cancellation of attendance must be made a minimum of four days prior to the booking or payment becomes non-refundable. If you need cancel then please try to get your friends to take your place.

No-shows or last minute cancellations are not refunded.

Should the class chef be unavailable to conduct their cooking class due to personal reasons or illness, all attendees for that class will be notified at the time. The class may still go ahead, where applicable, with one of Homeland's team stepping in to take the lesson.
