Hudson & Halls: The Food of Love is more than just a love story - it’s the story of two men who helped shift New Zealand’s attitudes toward homosexuality.
It’s also the story of international flavours arriving in Aotearoa and the early rise of Pacific‑influenced, Asian‑style cooking.
This talk celebrates their cooking and television legacy, bringing to life the nostalgia of the 1980s, when their dinner parties were legendary and their home was the place to be for New Zealand’s social set. Most importantly, it offers an intimate record of two ordinary lives that, together in the heat and humour of the kitchen, became extraordinary.
Presented by bestselling New Zealand author Joanne Drayton.
