Kai Time on the Road

Presented and directed by professional chef Peter Peeti, Kai Time on the Road is about eating fresh, local, Māori and organic food. Peeti is also a masterful hunter and fisherman equally at home in the bush as he is in the kitchen.

Producers Reuben Collier and Jo Santamaria from Maui Productions, say the recipe for the show’s success is that it deals with real food and real people, exploring the hidden little places in Aotearoa and meet some amazing characters who really love their food. “Pete has gone to marae right beside the sea, gathered kaimoana in knee-deep water, and cooked it on the beach and turns it into a five star meal.”

Peter Peeti is a professional chef from Rotorua. He spent a decade as head chef at Rotorua restaurant, Rendezvous, and won the prestigious Apprentice of the Year Award for his culinary skills in 1990.
