Eating Michelin
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
Sam and Jean sit down with Kate Underwood, who is the Communications/Kaitaki Lead at Eat New Zealand, the Restaurant Manager at plant-based restaurant Forest and the co-creator of new digital food journal Appetite for Words. In this episode we ask about Kate's food writing journey (which includes a nutritionist degree, a blog called Relish the Memory and more), her work at Eat New Zealand, and, also: what does she think about the Michelin Guide coming to Aotearoa?The Michelin has been a Hot Topic in the food world, and between the three of us we have an honest discussion that balances the good, the bad and the in-between. What could Michelin mean for our standard of dining? What could it mean for our (world-class) food producers? How does it fit into a New Zealand way of eating, and the "New Zealand cuisine"?
