Kaipara Coast - for goat, bacon and kūmara

July 15, 2016 The FoodPath NZ
kumara capital

Okay, so it’s winter.  You guessed it, another grey and grisly day.  But, as we say, ill-tempered weather should never stop a search for good real New Zealand food.  Head to the Kaipara Coast, on the western coast, north of Auckland and south of Whangarei.  There you’ll find some dramatic winter scenery and plenty of real New Zealand food, including this country’s unofficial national vegetable.  Yes, we’re off to New Zealand’s kumara capital.
