LUXURY - One mouthful at a time...

At Food TV we take our food seriously. Luckily for you, Q Gardens think the same way.

Q Gardens produces a range of flavour packed preserves using locally grown produce and natural ingredients, free from any artificial colours or preservatives.

Everything they make is also gluten free.

From relish and chutney, to sauce and vinegar, to jam and marmalade, Q Gardens has that taste sensation that your dishes have been craving. Plus, being gluten free, you know everyone will appreciate it.

Q Gardens was founded over 30 years ago, growing commercial crops of less common varieties of vegetables in Waitara, Taranaki.

For the last 10 years a range of sauces, relishes, chutneys and jams have been produced and sold through a small shop in Waitara and more recently via Q Garden's website.

After a change of ownership, the chance to widen the market for Q Gardens became possible, with Q Gardens now operating out of Whangamata on the Coromandel Peninsula. Most of the product used will be grown locally and they continue to seek new and interesting ingredient combinations. A unique, delicious taste all of its own, if you haven't tried Q Gardens, you haven't lived.

A few small tips to just a handful of the Q Gardens range

Chilli Tomato Relish
Makes the best pizza base and will also lift any sandwich combination.

Eggplant Kassoundi
A really heady combination of spices that is not overpowered by the heat from the chillies. Serve with cheese or cold meats and enjoy the layers of taste.

Apricot and Zucchini Chutney
The choice when you want a sweet and sour combination. It goes particularly well with cheeses both hard and soft, and is good with cold meats or a ploughmans lunch plate.
