SOFT PRETZELS
If you have ever popped into the German Bakery on the main street in Waihi you have probably already discovered Anni and Ronny Kurze’s soft pretzels and how delicious they are warm. While they make many delicious things, the pretzels are something they have been cooking up to go nationwide. Parbaked and frozen, these organic, vegan, sourdough pretzels just need 12 minutes in the oven and are ready to be enjoyed. Available via Bidfood for local chefs wanting to add them to their menu, the rest of us can get a six pack for $15 from the German Bakery in Waihi and very soon local food stores.

FARM STREET LARDER OPENS
On the Farm Street entrance of Bayfair is a new eatery, Farm Street Larder. The handy location bathed in all day sun is the perfect spot for this new eatery shining a light on local food. Both sustainability and community are key priorities for the new café along, of course, with great food, all made on the premises. Owners Colleen and Michael Smith say, “We want to bring back a focus on 'good old Kiwi cuisine', revisiting recipes from the past with a modern presentation, but focusing on paddock to the plate where possible.”
