Watch Jack bring one of his favourites to life, leeks with grilled kahawai, pickled daikon and miso coconut sauce.

It’s full of texture, flavour and a little Depot magic, but really, it’s all about the leeks.

On the menu as part of DELISH untill 31 July.

Get stuck in.

Jack’s been in the kitchen, bringing one of his favourite ingredients into the spotlight, the humble leek.

Served with grilled kahawai, pickled daikon and miso coconut sauce, it’s a ittle smoky, a little sharp and most importantly it’s delish.

On the menu now, for a limited time.

Come get it.

To serve is to love - " We should all feel very proud of our hospitality industry. Thirty or forty years ago it would have been acceptable to refer to New Zealand as a culinary wasteland. Fast forward to now, and I doubt there is another country on Earth that has experienced such a food-scene revolution in such a short period of time."
