Aucklands Vegan Roots

Part of Auckland's Heritage Festival, Vegan Roots brings families into the kitchen for a hands-on plant-based cooking workshop. Working in small teams with experienced chefs, participants learn budget-friendly, healthy cooking with gluten-free options available — a practical session that builds real skills alongside new connections.

The workshop wraps up with a shared community meal where everyone eats what they have cooked together. The event suits all ages, though it works best for children eight and above; those twelve and under need a parent or caregiver present.
