Season 2 – Episode 34 – Cocoa

One doesn’t have to travel half-way around the world (if that was even a possibility) to indulge in exotic cuisine. In this episode of ‘The Chef’s Table’ Phillip Nordt takes the Cocoa bean to the center stage.

Live from the beautiful OTB Restaurant at the Manuia Beach Resort, Rarotonga based Master Chef Phillip Nordt showcases cocoa.

Episode 34 of The Chef’s Table Season 2 first aired on 2 November 2021

Wine Pairing

The Ned Rose – Marlborough NZ

Enticing aromas of wild strawberries and watermelon with a delicate floral lift. With a crisp acidity creating a juicy, flavourful palate of red fruit with a lingering finish that is deliciously moreish.

A versatile wine to be enjoyed year-round although nothing beats a glass of The Ned Rosé at the beach with freshly caught tuna sashimi and a crunchy green salad!

The Ned Sauvignon Blanc– Marlborough NZ

Delightfully ripe aromas of gooseberry and white peach are laced with refreshing notes of kaffir lime with a bright, zesty finish.

Any fresh seafood sautéed in garlic butter with a crunchy green garden salad or oysters are a perfect pairing. These delicate flavours will complement the bright varietal characters of this wine.
