Mapu Test Kitchen, Lyttelton
Mapu is the brainchild of Chef Giulio Sturla, who has garnered acclaim for his innovative approach, turning simple, locally sourced produce into masterpieces of modern gastronomy. His dedication to fresh, sustainable, and ethical ingredients is evident in every dish at Mapu.
The intimate dining space in Lyttelton only seats six guests. It provides a unique and personal experience, where diners can watch Chef Sturla create culinary magic. Mapu has recently been named in the New York Times as one of the top 50 restaurants in the world. A remarkable and memorable dining adventure.

Main Speaker: Valmai Becker
Phytofarm, Little River
In the 1980’s Valmai owned The Old Shipping Office, an Akaroa restaurant popular for its provincial cuisine, artful plate design; use of herbs and edible flowers. She attained a Diploma in Naturopathy (ND) in 1980 and with this qualification she established and managed a clinical practice for eight years, specializing in using the philosophies and traditions of natural medicine and a holistic self-healing model of wellness. She used Herbal Medicine, Nutritional and Massage Therapy to manage acute and chronic conditions.
Valmai is a well known Naturopath from her years as a clinical practitioner and her involvement in the establishment of Canterbury College of Natural Medicine (CCNM). With her passion for Natural Medicine as the course director, she wrote curriculum to New Zealand Qualifications Authority standard for the Diploma programmes taught at the college and was a teacher in many aspects of Natural Medicine.
Phytofarm is now her primary passion, where she brings together a number of her skills: gardener, teacher, learner and care taker of 10 acres of forest and gardens.
