“I am a caterer & have been in the hospitality sector for 20+ years, establishing my own catering business in 2022 “Māorinesian Kai” 🍠🍞 you can find me every Saturday morning at our local markets located at Kuirau Park 🌴🌳
The name “Māorinesian Kai” is a mix of my Māori and Cook Island heritage combined. I specialize in both these cuisines; however, my skill set extends to all styles of cooking🥣
I love manaakitanga & making people feel good through eating my kai 😊 I choose to live in Rotorua because we have so much to offer, our Māori culture is so strong here, we have access to the most beautiful pools in the world (Polynesian Spa) & the best part is the people that make it feel good to live here & call Rotorua my home.”
