Top chefs including Nadia Lim and Allyson Gofton and Peter Gordan are participating in a Kidscan campaign to demonstrate food poverty in New Zealand. Nadia Lim has created the new recipe coined red soup, which is made from the reheated, leftover water that cheerios were cooked in. The recipe is based on a real New Zealand family’s experience of poverty. Allyson Gofton cooks a meal of rice and tomato sauce whilst Peter Gordon creates a mix of boiled water and mince.
