Kai Feast

Nau mai, haere mai ki tenei kai hākari wainene! Christall Lowe invites you to a hākari (feast) at her family table - replete with mouthwatering dishes infused with the flavours of Aotearoa, brimming with manaakitanga (hospitality), and served with wonderful tales of nostalgia. In this beautifully illustrated story of feasting you'll find a bountiful basket of kai and korero gathered all the way from the mountains to the sea. It's lip-smackingly good kai - from soul-warming kaimoana hot pot, umu pulled pork and hangi infused with native rongoa, to kumara donuts, sweet korimako cake and burnt sugar steamed pudding. Recipes are woven with stories of traditional gathering and feasting, tips on cooking for a crowd and notes on foraging and using native herbs. With Kai Feast in your kitchen, you'll be prepared for any occasion, big or small. It's time for kai. It's time to feast.
