MĀORI QUEEN OF CUISINE RETURNS TO MĀORI TELEVISION
Fresh fare, fabulous music and eclectic celebrity guests are the essential ingredients for Māori Television cuisine show, KAI ORA, which returns to screens on Sundays at 7.00 PM.
Hosted by the multi-talented Anne Thorp, KAI ORA is a celebration of fine dining, Māori style.
Colourful, simple, flavoursome food is the order of the day on KAI ORA, prepared in one of Anne’s two commercial kitchens in Herne Bay and Pakiri Beach, and enjoyed with two non-edible but essential ingredients: good friends and lots of laughter.
Anne practices the philosophy of manaakitanga - Māori hospitality. Each week she prepares mouth-watering dishes sourced from New Zealand’s finest produce for her invited guests. In return, they grace the occasion with a waiata or song, a modern revival of the tradition of ‘singing for one’s supper’.
“I get off on cooking for manuhiri, whānau and friends and for me the best part is the manaaki that comes with it,” says Anne. “The pātaka, laughter, music, humour and aroha, that’s what Kai Ora is all about. My third series is my favourite - it’s a cracker!”
Guests this year include Shavaughn Ruakere (Te Atiawa, Taranaki), Tina Cross (Te Aupōuri, Ngāti Porou), Hinewehi Mohi (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāi Tūhoe), Waitakere Mayor Bob Harvey, Miriama Smith (Te Arawa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) and her dance partner Jonny Williams (Ngāpuhi) and radio personality Robert Rakete (Ngāpuhi). Also on the show, Māori Television stars include current affairs presenters Julian Wilcox (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Te Arawa) and Wena Harawira (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui), and sports presenter Te Arahi Maipi (Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Whawhakia, Ngāti Koroki, Ngāti Tipa).
Anne was born in Whakatane, grew up in Gisborne and traces her whakapapa back to Ngāti Awa and Ngāiterangi. The eldest daughter in a family of five boys and three girls, she has been cooking up a storm as long as she can remember.
Anne never lost the taste for the food she was brought up with, like watercress and fish heads. But her style has developed well beyond that, to combine the traditional with fresh European and Asian influences. Anne is known for healthy cuisine, using fresh local produce, from both land and sea, for KAI ORA.
This is a show all about easy cooking and easy eating, with laidback recipes that make you feel like summer never ended. With KAI ORA, the kitchen is not a place to escape from, but a haven to escape to.
KAI ORA , a refreshing vision of haute cuisine, Māori style, Sundays at 7.00 PM.coming up ON MĀORI TELEVISION:
