World of Cultures - Urban Flair

Have you ever smelt food and instantly been reminded of home?

Traditional recipes are passed down through generations and coming together to eat is linked to many ritual celebrations around the world.

With our large food events cancelled, we wanted to ensure you still got a sense of the amazing food offerings available in Tāmaki Makaurau. We filmed five small business owners who generously prepared a meal for us to express how food connects them to their culture.

In this video Guillaume from Urban Flair talks about food being the language of love and shares how to prepare and make duck confit, popular in his home region Périgord. Born and raised in France, with French, Spanish and Italian roots, Guillaume’s heritage allows him to play with different cuisines and flavours while revisiting the ever popular traditional dishes.
