Food is where you find it...

Hi I'm Mike,

Having an interest in the natural world has enriched my life so much.

I would like to help spark that interest in others.

My interest in foraging has moved towards finding new and unknowen New Zealand native botanicals.

Ice cream has proven to be a great way to showcase flavours.

I run regular foraging tours around the wellington region with botanical ice cream tasting to help you understand the potential of NZ herbs and spices.
