Regional Wrap: Matakana with food writer Lauraine Jacobs

Each week, Culture 101 puts the spotlight on a different part of Aotearoa for our Regional Week. This week, we're heading north of Auckland Tamaki Makaurau to the Matakana region. A 45-minute drive from Auckland, it's a foodie haven with its farmers market, local artisinal producers, vineyards and boutique shops and galleries. It's surrounded by rolling hills and valleys with stunning beaches nearby including Omaha and Tawharanui Regional Park. Food and wine writer for more than two decades, author and editor of nine cookbooks and one travel book, and Matakana resident, Lauraine Jacobs, speaks to Culture 101.
