History
Cuisine was the first New Zealand magazine devoted to food and wine. It was started by Hamish Allison, then brought by Julie Dalzell in 1986. It was bought by Independent Newspapers Limited (INL) in 2001. INL sold all its publications to Fairfax Media in 2003, and they became part of Fairfax New Zealand. Cuisine was later bought by Slick & Sassy Media from Fairfax. Kelli Brett is the current editor.
