Taste New Zealand

Peta has presented NZ's most successful travel/food show Taste New Zealand for ten years on TV ONE. It screens at 8pm on Friday during the season and reruns are constantly being played at unheard of hours such as 6am. This show is witty, educational, informative and triples the business of any producer who features on it. It is also a valuable archive on food and cooking in New Zealand and tells the story of the culinary growth of an isolated but vivacious country. In the international version Taste Takes Off, Peta explores the flavours, the style and the sights of destinations like Rajasthan, Crete, Beijing, New Orleans, the Margaret River in Australia and North Yorkshire. "There's no better way to discover the culture of a country than through its food," says Mathias.

There are at least two cooking segments in the half hour show, one from a guest chef and one from Peta, both using products which have appeared in the show. "Taste NZ" was honoured with an international award at the "World Food Media Awards" in Adelaide in 1997. The presentation of a silver ladle was for best segment in a food program. In 2001 it won Best Electronic Media Award from the NZ Guild of Food Writers, in 2003 the same award plus the Supreme Award and in 2005 the same award for exhibiting mastery in the field of television. A Taste of Ireland won Best Television Magazine/Lifestyle Program for 2004 at Qantas Media Awards in May 2005.
