The collaboration with Chef Angela aims to bring cheer to festive dinner tables while sharing the health benefits of the Vitamin C-rich kiwifruit. Brand-new recipes were created especially for Zespri's Christmas giveaway.

"I developed this menu with the vibrant flavour profile of Zespri Kiwifruit in mind. It was a fun, Vitamin C-rich ingredient to base my menu around and I've incorporated it in both sweet and savoury dishes.  In my home, mealtimes have always been a time to bond, catch up and tuck into something both tasty and wholesome, and this is all the more true at Christmas. I hope the bright flavours of this menu bring cheer to a few peoples' homes, especially after a tough year for many," said Chef Angela. 

The dishes highlight the versatility of both Zespri SunGold and Zespri Green Kiwifruit and span a spectrum of tastes, featuring the complex, uplifting flavours in the main, and spotlighting the sweet and refreshing quality of the fruit in the starter. Hurry, enter the contest and win Chef Angela's Christmas feast for yourself or a loved one!
