Executive Chef brings Flavour and Style to Blanket Bay
Blanket Bay is pleased to have Jason Dell as our Executive Chef. A former 'New Zealand Chef of Year' Jason describes his 'style' of food as a contemporary display of fresh vibrant fare that excites the palate.
He strives for creative visual appeal, eclectic taste sensations and harmony of flavours and was trained under one of New Zealand's most elite professional and respected culinary individuals - Mr Rick Rutledge Manning, where he gained a solid grounding in both classical French and new age Pacific Rim cookery styles and a greater appreciation and understanding for premium New Zealand produce.
His passion for culinary excellence continues to evolve and he enjoys bringing a fresh perspective to the dining experiences for guests at Blanket Bay.
Jason's vision is to afford our discerning, well-travelled clientele the opportunity to savour an array of eclectic foods that showcase some of the finest ingredients New Zealand has to offer to the global market.
