Nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei kai hakari wainene!
Kūmara donuts with kawakawa sugar, soul-warming kaimoana hot pot, succulent umu pulled pork, hangī infused with native rongoa, sweet korimako cake and Nana's burnt sugar steamed pudding. Christall Lowe invites you to another spectacular hakari (feast) from the heart of her whanau. Served alongside tales of nostalgia, infused with the flavours of Aotearoa, and brimming with mouthwatering dishes, this book is deeply rooted in abundance and manaakitanga (hospitality).
Kai Feast is a stunningly photographed collection of whanau recipes and inspired adaptations, woven with stories of traditional feasting, tips on cooking for a crowd, menu planning and table decorating, and notes on foraging and cooking with native plants. This is a captivating story of feasting - a bountiful basket of kai and kōrero from the mountains to the sea.
Come and have a seat at the table. It's time to feast.
