Special acknowledgment!
There is a wonderful wahine toa who is responsible for the superb rēwena I make, you too can make your own by watching Lynda’s Kai Love You on You Tube.
I managed to quickly develop my own rīwai/potato starter bug that’s used for my rēwena. If you don’t have time or the patience to make your own, you are in luck as Lynda McGregor is owner of the Little Bread Loaf Shop in Lower Hutt, so be sure you check out her page and online shop for the tastiest kai parāoa and other treats made with love.
“For as long as you have your starter bug, flour, salt, water and an oven you and your whanau will never go hungry”.

Frybread & ika mata feedback
"Thank you so much for the easy and delicious service!
Everyone loved the frybread and raw fish. You might be interested to know our guest speaker was Pio Terei was super impressed with the spread, so we sent him home with the left over ika mata, which he was stoked with!
I liked that it was served in a container for people to portion themselves, it meant that for those who had never tried it they could take a spoonful rather than having to take a full portion or not taking any at all". TMNZ - May 2022.
Lunch box feedback
"Our attendees absolutely loved it and thought that it felt very special to have their own packed lunch. It was also quite funny to see them swap and share their chips like kids in a classroom haha. We are an Autere buyer with Amotai and found you on their registry – you’re the first business we’ve sourced from the directory and we’re very happy with the results!" TSA - July 2022.
