Boil Up - Stall

Josh Hunter (Ngāti Tūwharetoa) from Whakapapa Your Kai and Base Food by Fire along with Ngaio Cowell (Ngaati Te Ata Waiohua, Waikato, Ngāti Porou) from Tipu Toi and Te Whare Tapere, are back this Matariki to bring more kai based Kaupapa.

A Boil Up is a common kai in Māori households. It is a form of stew, containing root vegetables, pork bones, puha and really whatever else was available to bulk it out. It is kai designed to feed whānau and community for less. The reason this name was chosen is because it is a kaupapa the team believes in; providing for many, creating access for nourishing kai from the heart.

The name sake event, involves the Base Food By Fire team. Boil up will be available for $5.00 per cup (card only) in the North Quad.
