Peter Gordon: Kiwi Chef on his involvement in the new TV3 show 'Food Rescue Kitchen'

Published: April 22, 2024, 10:38 p.m.

A new TV3 show is aiming to highlight New Zealand\u2019s food waste.\xa0

Chefs are coming together in \u2018Food Rescue Kitchen\u2019 to challenge viewers\u2019 perceptions of waste and what can be done with ingredients they otherwise might not consider.\xa0

Peter Gordon, one of the country's most iconic chefs, is taking part and told Mike Hosking that he had a really good time on the show and enjoyed the challenge.\xa0

He said that while most will be picturing rotted or expired food when food waste is talked about, that\u2019s only some of it. \xa0

Gordon said that a lot of waste is created when stores or supermarkets have to make room for the next delivery, and that\u2019s often the point it\u2019s at its prime.\xa0

\u201cFor my particular challenge, I had some of the most amazing stone fruit,\u201d he told Hosking.\xa0

\u201cI thought I\u2019d never bought it like that from a shop before.\u201d\xa0

'Food Rescue Kitchen' premieres on Three and ThreeNow at 7PM Saturday April 27th.
