Why choose The Culinary Collective?

The Culinary Collective is built around the ways people like to eat, drink and be entertained today. Inspired by the pride New Zealand has for its unique food & beverage culture, we want to grow the next generation of chefs and bakers to put us on the world map.

Our goal is to help you make a career out of something you really care about. We’ll do that by getting you excited about New Zealand’s unique food & beverage culture. You’ll ’learn about where ingredients come from, how they’re prepared today, how they’re used traditionally and most importantly how to deliver meals in a modern, memorable way.
