Culinary creative genius Heston Blumenthal’s Christmas pudding is now available in New Zealand.

The Heston from Waitrose Hidden Orange and Hidden Clementine Christmas Puddings are exclusive to Nosh Food Market as part of a new partnership with UK supermarket Waitrose.

The creation from the celebrated chef - famed for unusual dishes such as snail porridge and parsnip cereal - was the centrepiece of the Christmas season in the UK last year.

The pudding is made with English cider and Spanish sherry and contains a whole candied clementine (small) or orange (large) hidden in the centre, infusing strong citrus notes.

The candied fruit in the middle of the incredibly moist Christmas pudding makes it very special and is the gem in the creation process.

The small pudding (227g) retails for $14.99 and the large pudding (1.2kg) - which serves 10-12 people - retails for $49.99. The puddings can be steamed or microwaved.

Nosh stores are located in Glen Innes, Greenlane, Mt Eden, Ponsonby, Matakana and Hamilton. Visit www.noshfoodmarket.com or call 09-531 5366.
