Mahinga Kai with Manu - Darfield

Join Manu from Suburban Eatery for a celebration of Mahinga Kai. He will provide a seasonal, locally grown tasting platter for you to enjoy and will explain the story behind the produce. Connecting with the star Waitī, who is associated with fresh water bodies and food sources that are sustained by water, he will showcase Te Waihora Pātiki (Lake Ellesmere Flounder). Be prepared to get your hands dirty as you learn how to fillet a Pātiki and roll some kumara donuts.

Here’s what Mishael said “By far, my favourite event during Matariki 2021. To me, bringing people together with kai, to learn about kai and how they can bring these methods and knowledge into their own homes, was a wonderful way to observe Matariki.”
