Wine & Words, A Lunch with Anahera

Wellington's Forage Kitchen + Bar will play host to a stellar afternoon of fine wine, beautiful cuisine and a touch of culture this Sunday.
Secure a seat that boasts the best view of the city this Sunday, for a one-of-a-kind event that celebrates the city's drawcards – beautiful cuisine and vibrant culture.
Forage Kitchen + Bar are presenting a rare opportunity to discuss Wellington’s most-talked about play, alongside director Katie Wolfe, co-writer Emma Kinane, and former Shortland Street actress Jacqueline Nairn.
Devour a decadent locally-sourced menu and get to know the cast behind Anahera, a finalist in last year’s prestigious Adam New Zealand Play Awards. Described as an enthralling mix of a powerful missing child drama and a behind-closed-doors look at New Zealand’s social services, this powerful play will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
The menu on offer at Forage showcases the best of Wellington’s locality, utilising only the freshest seasonal New Zealand produce paired alongside stellar local wines. Diners will be spoiled for choice, from the Grilled Riverlands Black Angus Eye Fillet to the Kawakawa rubbed Duck breast, with a choice of either Whittaker’s White Chocolate & Raspberry Crème Brulee or Waikane Lemon Tart to finish.
This is a unique event not to be missed. Please note, bookings are essential.
When: Sunday, September 24 from 12pm.
Where: Forage Kitchen + Bar,
Grand Mercure Wellington,
345 The Terrace,
Te Aro, Wellington.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
