A trailblazing figure in New Zealand’s culinary renaissance, Vaughan Mabee is known for crafting edible stories of the wild. As Executive Chef of Amisfield in Queenstown, Mabee merges deep respect for terroir with theatrical presentation — from dishes hidden in river stones to references to Maori legend. He fishes, hunts, and forages his own ingredients, creating menus that feel alive with the spirit of Aotearoa. Recently named one of the most creative chefs of his generation, his Bangkok debut is nothing short of historic.
