The Good From Scratch Cookery School

New Zealand’s most loved chef, Michael Van de Elzen, together with his wife Belinda, who is also a qualified chef, have opened a farm-to-fork experience, The Good From Scratch Cookery School, on their life-style property near Muriwai, less than 40 minutes from Auckland. The school is an embodiment of the Van de Elzens' combined philosophy: food is best when it’s prepared from scratch.

Hot Chocolate Custard with Red Wine Pears

Ask any chef to go back 10-15 years and name the number one selling dessert on their menu and I can guarantee that a crème brûlée would be right up there.

For this wonderful sweet all we are doing is cooking it the same as you would with a crème brûlée, but instead of allowing it to cool. We are serving it piping hot from the oven.
