New Zealand chef: Peter Gordon
Kiwi celebrity chef Peter Gordon - based in New Zealand and the UK - works with a string of critically acclaimed restaurants around the globe, including his own 'dine by Peter Gordon' in Auckland and the famed 'Providores and Tapa Room' in London.
Peter Gordon is also famous for pioneering 'fusion cusine'. This blend of cuisine styles from the East and the West was inspired by his travels in South East Asia, India and Nepal in the eighties.
The busy international chef also acts as a menu consultant for Air New Zealand and other restaurants as far afield as Turkey and New York, consulting on their menus.
While these restaurants are spread all over the world, they all share a common gastronomic belief in good food and a love of beautifully crafted antipodean wine.
