THE PLATING GAME

TONI STREET

Television and radio presenter

A co-host each weekday for Coast breakfast radio, a television presenter, author, and coach for her children’s netball and footy teams, Toni Street is also a self-confessed ‘foodie’. From growing up on a farm in Taranaki, to experiencing her palate change as she moved to the city, I chat with Toni about all things food – including her love for a particular Hawaiian dessert she ordered on a recent family trip.

What kind of food did you eat growing up?

Toni: I grew up on a dairy farm, so we were very much a meat and three veg type of household. We had meat from the farm and as a girl I remember having a lot of mince, steak, schnitzel and sausages. Chicken was a rarity for us. It was a treat to go to the fish and chips store, a Chinese smorgasbord, or McDonald’s.

Is meat and three veg still a regular today?
