How does it work?
Tastemakers is the ultimate competition for passionate home cooks like you!
Every month, you’ll receive a mystery box bursting with exciting ingredients. Your challenge? Whip up a mouthwatering dish using the box contents and pantry staples, then showcase your masterpiece by uploading your dish online.
Your creation will be scored by verified tastemarkers, compared against your tastebuddies and even other foodies across New Zealand.
Compete for epic prizes and strive for the glory of epic titles: "tastemaker of the month" and "tastemaker of the year"!
