OUR REACH

While the print run of individual editions varies according to subscriptions, partner requirements and other distribution factors, we measure Cuisine’s reach using independently audited Nielsen readership data.

Nielsen research consistently places Cuisine at the top of its competitive category and second only to National Geographic among New Zealand’s bi-monthly publications.

Every eight weeks, Cuisine is read by more than 6% of New Zealanders aged 15 and over, including 7.8% of New Zealand household shoppers. Our average readership has also grown consistently year on year for the past three years.

OUR AUDIENCE

Cuisine reaches an engaged and influential audience with a strong interest in food, entertaining, travel, design and the way they live.

Thirty-four per cent of Cuisine readers live in Auckland. Our audience is a 50/50 split male/femalei and aged 48+, with an average household income 8% above the national average.

Our readers are highly engaged with their homes and the way they live: 66% cook in their own homes, while seven in ten say the way their home looks is very important to them.

More than a quarter (25.1%) of Cuisine readers work within one of New Zealand’s three top occupational groups, including senior government officials, business managers and executives, and business proprietors or the self-employed.

And Cuisine isn’t simply picked up and flicked through. Readers spend an average of 61.7 minutes with each edition, with 50% spending between one and two hours reading the publication. Cuisine’s primary readers spend on average 97.4 minutes immersed in each issue.
