“At Cordis, we consistently used Wild Chef products – in particular the Mini Kumara Rosti and Mini Falafel – and they became a reliable staple in our kitchen. The consistency, flavour, and presentation made them a favourite not just with our team, but with guests too. In a high-volume, fast-paced environment like ours, having a premium-quality product that delivers every time is invaluable.
Wild Chef’s range allowed us to save time without compromising on quality, and their products easily elevated our dishes, whether for buffet service, à la carte or large-scale events.
Thanks for continuing to champion innovation and quality for chefs around New Zealand – your products make a real difference”.
