Celebrity Chef Brett McGregor will demonstrate his fresh & tasty magic at 11.30am in the PartyPerfect Celebrity Kitchen in the Pavilion Building.
Brett McGregor needs little introduction – he describes himself as a Masterchef, Author, Teacher and a Food & Wine Ambassador. In 2010 he was declared New Zealand’s first Masterchef – this was the catalyst for him to follow his bliss.
He says, the development of his culinary skills can only be attributed to one person, his mother! While his mum’s influence helped Brett learn important skills, it was through his mum and dad’s travels that he was first introduced to new flavours from all over the world. His cooking style is tasty, fresh, seasonal and easily achievable. Brett says, "food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious."
Fill your life with good friends, good times and good food #kapitifoodfair

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
