Ben Bayly's guide to Auckland

I’m a chef and restaurateur living in Titirangi in Auckland with my wife Cara and our children Ella, Mila and Bowie. We have two restaurants in Commercial Bay, Ahi and Origine, and a commercial garden in Patumahoe. My wife and I hail originally from the Waikato heartland and have also lived previously overseas for 10 years. We settled into Auckland 14 years ago and haven't looked back. I love this city and consider myself a proud Aucklander!
