Last year’s Fieldays was such a sweet experience for first-timers New Generation Liquorice that they have returned in 2015 with an extra range.

Carol Reason and Kelvin Fraser are bringing products from Waikato-based company Cuisinescene New Zealand.

Cuisinescene produce 30 all-natural salad-dressing and condiments each using Waikato fruits and vegetables.

Each product is hand-made in small batches by a team of cooks in a registered kitchen in Te Kauwhata.

The range includes vinaigrettes, chutneys, preserves, oils and jellies.

“The black raspberry vinaigrette is the favourite,” Reason said.

Cuisinescene can be found in the Kiwi’s Best Kitchen building.

They have teamed up with Hamilton based bread company Volare who will supply the bread for taste testing.

“I hope some of our products get chosen to be used in the cooking demonstrations,” Reason said.

Over in the Bledisloe building their New Generation Liquorice site can be found.

The liquorice, nougat and fudge confectionery are made with 100% New Zealand products in Palmerston North.

“We did really well at last year’s Fieldays… The raspberry nougat is every girl’s favourite,” Reason said.

Canterbury Sheepskin exhibitor Ian Hunter said he is really glad to see New Generation Liquorice back this year.

“They’re great. I ate so much last year I’m surprised I didn’t get myself sick,” he said.
