Bender’s (Ben O’Donoghue) fabulous food surfari continues...this time he heads across the Tasman to New Zealand where he catches up with his surf-mad Kiwi mate and co-chef for this series, Mark Gardner. Like Bender, Mark’s made it big overseas and now he’s taking a break from preparing meals for the rich and famous to show you the culinary delights of his homeland.
Enjoy green-lipped mussels, venison, lamb, trout, scallops - washed down with some of the world’s best wines from Marlborough, Otago and Hawkes Bay. That’s the recipe for Surfing the Menu 4 - New Zealand.
Fresh food ideas, breath-taking locations, entertaining characters, a spot of heli-surfing, mountain-gliding and aerobatics plus the sweetest surf breaks in the country.
