Kai Ora - Series One
Television (Full Length Episodes) – 2004
Hosted by chef Anne Thorp, Kai Ora celebrates fresh, locally sourced food and the joy of good company. In each episode, Thorp welcomes a special guest — ranging from musicians and writers to cultural leaders — to share a meal cooked at her home kitchens in Herne Bay or Pākiri Beach. Familiar faces this season include author Witi Ihimaera, musician Moana Maniapoto, and broadcaster/musician Hinewehi Mohi. The guests bring more than just their appetites, each bring their stories and music to the table. With a focus on Māori cuisine and manaakitanga, Thorp serves up simple yet elegant dishes: everything from the classic beef Wellington to impressive kai moana feasts. Check out the full episode guide here.
So we've got this huge medley of seafood today, or kaimoana, which the whānau are going to enjoy. Let me tell you, this is our most favourite food of all — seafood.– Anne Thorp on cooking up a kaimoana feast, in episode 13
