Over the last four years, kingi has established a respected presence on the Auckland dining scene. It has a reputation for cuisine that’s innovative and delicious as well as sustainable, and has been a partner in some hugely successful collaborations. We talked to chef and kingi co-founder Tom Hishon about what he’s learned over the last four years and where the restaurant is going for the future.  

Hailing from the far side of the world, Stefania brings a wealth of experience in fine dining and patisserie to the kingi kitchen. We caught up with her about what brought her to New Zealand, and how she developed her love for great food.
