About this listen

In this episode of Bacon Butty, Daniel sits down with David Burton — celebrated journalist, chef, and author of the landmark book Two Hundred Years of New Zealand Food & Cookery.

David takes us on a journey through his early years in journalism, the influences that shaped his palate, and his time cooking in Paris. We explore the evolution of New Zealand’s food culture, from colonial beginnings through to today’s dynamic dining scene, and the people and places that defined it along the way.

We also discuss the shifting role of food writers, the challenges of documenting a nation’s cuisine, and David’s reflections on how New Zealand eats — and what that says about who we are.
