Exceptional dishes start with excellent ingredient Exceptional dishes start with excellent ingredients, and chefs rely on the hard work of those who provide them.Farmers, fishmongers, hunters, and foragers work tirelessly, often in harsh conditions, to deliver fresh, high-quality produce year-round. Their dedication ensures we have what we need to create outstanding dishes.Sourcing locally means better taste, freshness, and direct support for the local economy and sustainability. Buying local keeps money in the community and benefits everyone.These individuals are the true stars of our industry. Without them, creating exceptional dishes wouldn’t be possible.Their work forms the foundation that allows us to elevate ingredients with skill and technique.Let’s honour their contributions and recognise that every dish starts with them.Local mushrooms from @remarkable_fungiContact: 📧 Fabien@myprivatechef.co.nz
