An Evening Celebrating Our 20th Birthday

Birthday spirit filled the room on July 16th along with great company, a sumptuous truffle feast, and exceptional wines.
For twenty years, dish has brought achievable recipe inspiration to homes across the country. To celebrate the major milestone, we invited readers to book a table and join us at Auckland’s stunning Esther Restaurant. Together we shared a sensational truffle dinner created by Sean Connelly and James Laird, and each course was thoughtfully paired with a luscious glass of Nautilus Estate wine.
It was a truly fabulous evening and one that ended on a high as Kool & The Gang’s Celebration rang through the speakers and each guest was served a mini version of our delectable sticky date birthday cake from the cover of the latest issue, before heading home with a special birthday gift of exquisite Riedel glassware.
