Top foodie haunts around town in New Zealand

"Ceres Market at Ponsonby Central is one of my favourite places to shop for fresh produce, especially as there is always something unique to take home and add to your pantry and their fresh squeezed juices are amongst the best in town. They also always have the likes of kale and kefir available to keep all the green foodies happy."

"As well as stocking some of the most inspirational and great looking recipe books in the country, Grey Lynn’s Cook the Books offer some of the finest cookery classes and workshops. These range from Vegetarian Cheese Making to North African Flavours and Mexican, and you can also buy vouchers for foodie friends to attend. They also offer private group lessons for friends, just pop in and ask the wonderful staff to tell you more."

"Milly’s on Ponsonby Road is heaven for lovers of home baking and lovers of eating home baking alike, and stock some of the world’s most illustrious culinary brands. They have the city’s best selection of cute and quirky cake and cookie tins and decorating tools as well as mixing and prep bowls preferred by the masters. Saturday always sees live cooking and baking demos taking place too, so bring an empty tummy!"
