🌿 Forage, Cook, Feast.

Today we joined our Chef Mark out in nature, gathering edible plants and berries —right from nature’s pantry.

Back at the lodge, Mark guided us through turning our basket of foraged treasures into a beautiful, seasonal dish. Fresh, local, and crafted by hand.

✨ A perfect blend of adventure, learning, and flavour.
Would you join our next foraging-to-table experience?

At Avon Valley Lodge, we get pretty excited when Chef Mark starts experimenting and today was no exception, we were treated to prickly crab from waikawafish, samphire, and cherry tomatoes with a calamansi emulsion.
A multi layered sensory experience: the natural sweetness of the crab, the salty snap of samphire, and the bright, zesty lift of the calamansi emulsion.
A dish that tastes like the coastline on a plate! 🦀
