Nourishment for well-being
Our classes embrace the philosophy that food has a powerful impact on our physical and emotional well-being, and we're committed to offering workshops that provide the skills and education to help you nourish your whole selves, families and communities.
Quality ingredients
Our menus focus on seasonality, carefully sourced ingredients and organic vegetables we grow ourselves in our Wellington garden. We use flowers and herbs from the garden to make unique kombuchas offered complimentary in most of our classes.
Professional teachers
Our workshops are taught by talented professional chefs, passionate food personalities, nutritionists, and health coaches. All run their own restaurants or businesses so they’re closely connected to what’s happening in the worlds of hospitality and well-being.

"We attended Savour's foraging in the woods with 4-course vegetarian meal and loved it so much! This time round, there was a new workshop on seaweed foraging and we signed up immediately! This was such an insightful session...well paced, informative and we ended with a 4-course vegan meal to better understand the taste of the different seaweeds we foraged. I strongly recommend Wendy and her creative workshops as a must do in New Zealand Wellington! We cannot wait to attend the next one:)"

"I absolutely loved learning the context behind Parisian picnic impressionist paintings AND getting to learn to cook and then eat a lovely French meal. Wendy’s curiosity and depth of knowledge of the subject made for such a fun and informative experience. I would love to learn more and take another course. Highly recommended!"
