Wellington on a Plate Events
Wendy is available to create curated feasts for restaurants, hotels, wineries, lodges and private events. Please check out the photos from our past events below.
Parisian Belle Epoque
Jardin Grill, Sofitel
Diners travelled back in time to Paris of La Belle Époque, a golden age for French cuisine. Wendy collaborated with Chef Roy Giam to recreate the flavours and elegant atmosphere of Parisian life a century ago. His five-course degustation menu was paired with fine wines and champagnes. Soprano Barbara Paterson entertained us with opera and cabaret songs of the era. 2018.
Dine with Monet
Hippopotamus Restaurant, Museum Hotel
Few know Claude Monet was as much of a foodie as he was a painter. Art historian Dr Wendy Joyce of Victoria University of Wellington and executive chef Laurent Loudeac created a five-course menu inspired by Monet’s cookbook, Monet’s Palate, taking diners on a journey to late 19th-century France and exploring connections between painting and gastronomy. Surrounded by the extensive art collection of QT Museum Wellington, immerse yourself in history, art and traditional French cuisine. Sarah Meikle, Director Wellington on a Plate, 2017.
