MEET OUR CONTRIBUTORS

AMY STEWART

I’m an Auckland-born, Seattle-raised and, until recently, Edinburgh-based writer. Though my first love was art history, I find writing about both art and food relies on using words to describe experiences beyond words. I now spend my time combing the Waikato for new-to-me food spots from my base in Kirikiriroa.

JESSICA HEMMINGS

I’m a bit of an aspirational aesthete and a serial collector. I love giving a dried up leaf a second life as a model in a still life shoot and I have a soft spot for anyone who makes things with their hands. If I can keep creating mini worlds through styling I will be one happy gal.

STEPHEN WONG

New Zealand’s most recent Master of Wine, I am an ex-sommelier who runs Wine Sentience, a freelance group in Wellington. When I’m not teaching, writing or speaking about wine, I can be found either on a beach (or track) somewhere in beautiful NZ, deep in some sci-fi novel, or on the decks reliving my DNB past.

SAM STEWART

I grew up in Arrowtown where there is a striking change throughout the seasons and this led me to want to get out and explore the natural world and capture the details. Seeing, photographing and tasting the delicious elements of nature in the kitchens of amazing chefs is very inspiring.
