The surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, and the weather is changeable, so a layer is worth carrying. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish.

Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
