My Kitchen Rules NZ Winners: Neena and Belinda

My Kitchen Rules New Zealand is finished and the modern day hippies, Neena and Belinda have taken 1st place. The Cambridge Mums were in the Grand Final against the Polynesian Cooks, Aaron and Heather. Each team had to make 7 course meal and were marked by 20 judges, Neena and Belinda beat them by only 1 point.

Neena and Belinda entered the competition wanting to change the way New Zealand cook, with earthly ingredients. With their first ever challenge the instant restaurant, they made it clear that they were all about the earth with their natural elements from the food to the table setting. With nearly every dish they made, they added some sort of plant or natural ingredient.

On the other hand 2nd place Aaron and Heather got an advantage because they got to work in Ben's kitchen and teach the chefs their pacific foods. But Neena and Belinda must have had really nice food because they managed to take out MKR New Zealand for 2014.
