Cooking made simple with Jax Hamilton

Join Jax Hamilton, celebrity chef and former MasterChef NZ runner-up, for a live cooking demonstration packed with delicious recipes, practical tips, and ways to bring people together through food. Jax will share her favourite recipes, stories from her 15-year career, and simple techniques for creating delicious, flavour-packed meals.

Depending on the village you visit, you'll enjoy either a classic cooking demonstration featuring everything from easy weeknight meals to dishes perfect for entertaining, or a special air fryer session showing just how simple it is to create tasty, nutritious meals using a single appliance.

Whether you're looking for cooking inspiration or curious about retirement living, this special event offers the perfect opportunity to experience village life firsthand.
