Air NZ names Michael Meredith as new inflight chef

Air NZ has added another renowned chef to its inflight line-up. Award-winning restaurateur Michael Meredith was named as the airline's newest consultant chef, joining current consultant chef Peter Gordon. Renowned for his food and degustation menus at Auckland fine dining restaurant Merediths, the chef will take his expertise sky high to design dishes for Air NZ's business premier menu. Air NZ GM Customer Experience Carrie Hurihanganui said the airline offered visitors their first taste of New Zealand's fresh, high quality cuisine and wine. "We've long held a farm to plane philosophy where menus are crafted around the best seasonal, fresh produce on offer. Michael has a similar ethos at Meredith's and we're excited to see how he translates his expertise from the restaurant to meals served at altitude." <br/>
