After wowing audiences with his Matariki-inspired boil-up—where nearly 300 plates were lovingly served to his community—Josh brings his storytelling flavour to our table. Known for cooking with intent and generosity, Josh will share his philosophy: food as a vessel for whakapapa and unity. His recent feature in The Press highlighted the deep connection between his cooking and Aotearoa’s Māori culture.
Boil Up Elevated
Josh's signature boil-up isn’t just comfort food—it’s a cultural expression infused with manaakitanga. Expect a warm, communal atmosphere as you gather with whānau and friends to reconnect over shared kai.
Join us for one unforgettable night during Visa Wellington On a Plate. Josh will be serving up a beautiful boil-up and dessert, honouring Aotearoa’s traditional cooking methods - a true celebration of kai, culture, and connection.
