Six leading New Zealand chefs are joining forces to create a celebratory spring feast to raise funds for the Garden to Table Trust.

\n

Al Brown, Des Harris, Michael Meredith, Natalia Schamroth, Jonny Schwass and Nic Watt [1] are each preparing one course at a glittering gala dinner being held at Auckland's St Matthew in the City on 30 August.

\n

\"The Garden to Table initiative is brilliant,\" says chef and father Al Brown.

\n

\"The concept of children learning how to grow, harvest and cook fruit and vegetables is, in my view, nearly as important as learning how to count and spell.

\n

\"Unless our children understand one of life's most simple principles - that we must grow to eat - then what goodness is there in life?

\n

\"The concept connects our kids to the joys and rewards of pure and unadulterated produce, and how it actually gets to our plate,\" Brown says. \"Importantly it also steers children on to the right path when it comes to sensible eating, health and well-being.\"

\n

In addition to the six chefs, Masterchef winner Nadia Lim is creating canapés and songstress Boh Runga is to do a special live performance.

\n

Every dish is being matched to a wine from a leading NZ vineyard and radio and television personalities Jim Mora and Tony Murrell are acting as hosts on the night.

\n

The Garden to Table Trust aims to raise $100,000 on the night through ticket sales and a charity auction to help fund a 1500 square metre organic vegetable garden and kitchen classroom facility in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter precinct.

\n

Construction on the landmark inner city garden, Garden to Table at Wynyard Quarter, is due to commence shortly. The completed facility will be used to teach up to 600 local primary school children each week how to grow, harvest, prepare and share good food.

\n

Trust founder Catherine Bell says Garden to Table at Wynyard Quarter is a unique facility for NZ children and a wonderful resource for Auckland residents.

\n

A purpose built kitchen classroom will also provide a unique events venue as well as much-needed headquarters for the trust.
