In Get Fresh acclaimed New Zealand chef Al Brown heads to the far corners of the country tracking down the best markets, finest produce and freshest ingredients to create a meal that captures the quintessential flavour of each region.

From an old ute come mobile kitchen, Al samples and cooks potential ingredients on the spot – be it a roadside vege stall, a farmer’s field or a fisherman’s wharf. After tasting and testing the best produce of the region, Al heads to a local restaurant to create a three course meal, sharing the finer aspects of his recipes and making his ideas about food and cooking accessible to the everyday cook. The focus is on the food and New Zealand’s won­derful, fresh produce – each region is different and is celebrated through the distinctive meals Al creates.
