postheadericon Cooking for Japan, Namibia, & Samoa Rugby World Cup teams 2011











From the 9 September to the 23 October the Rugby World cup is playing out on the New Zealand Stage








 Free Range Chef has been lucky enough to get the contract to cook breakfast, lunch and          dinner for 3 of the world cup teams.

Japan from the 31st August to the 14th September, Namibia from the 20th to 23rd September and Samoa from the 26th September to 1st of October.


             The Gulf Harbour Lodge in Whangaparaoa has been hosting the teams stay and where I have been stationed for these times.

The menus for the teams were sent last year for inspection and we got the go ahead after liaising with World cup officials. There has been a lot of work done by myself and Gulf lodge management to insure health and safety and to adere to the MAF and world cup guidelines.

                                   This is a sample of a typical daily menu for the Japanese.





Not as Japanese food orientated as you would first imagine ! 
Every meal was buffet style service and those boys can eat !!

 My chef team. Lisa on the far right, Jason in the middle and me in are modest sized kitchen

 
My signed T-shirt from the team, even has John Kirwins signature(just by the J) on it.

And finally just a quick clip of JK, saying how good the Gulf Lodge and food was....shame he got distracted !!
