Good things

Aaron Brunet (our very own plant-based Masterchef winner) and Dylan Steeples (founder of the plantpower. co.nz podcast) are teaming up to create a special dining experience that celebrates the beauty and deliciousness of the plant kingdom. “We’d love you to join us in Auckland on October 18 to enjoy four delicious plant-based courses, two knowledgeable and inspiring guest speakers (including a plant-based doctor) and Organic Mechanic kombucha on tap. This is all about sharing what we see as the future of food and showing it’s not just salads! We find the grass is greener in so many ways, and have created this evening so you can experience it for yourself,” says Aaron. “Conscious Action events are about raising awareness and inspiring meaningful action, in this case encouraging people to consider adding more plant-based meals to their day-to-day lives. This will be a fun evening of delicious food, incredible humans and a super-positive message.” consciousaction.co.nz/plantpower-experience for more information and tickets.
