Food for thought
Te Kai a te rangatira may be korero but The Federation of Maori Authorities is also concerned about the bellies of its members.
It has enlisted MasterChef 2014 winners Karena and Kasey Bird to design the banquet dinner at its annual conference in Whanganui at the end of the month.
The Maketu-based sisters from Ngati Whakaue and Ngapuhi will have produce to call on from sponsors Silver Fern Farms and Aotearoa Fisheries.
They will also speak at the dinner about their Master Chef experience.
FOMA chief executive Te Horipo Karaitiana says celebrating success is an important part of the hui, which will also include a session with Ahuwhenua Trophy winners Te Rua O Te Moko Ltd and a special presentation to retiring MP Tariana Turia for her contribution to Maori development.
