Author: Peter Peeti

Drawing from the abundant fare that the New Zealand land and sea have to offer, charismatic Maori chef and television personality Peter Peeti shares his culinary knowledge and favourite recipes in this wonderful book. Based on the popular show on Maori TV, Kai Time on the Road (now in its sixth season), Peeti reveals not just a flair for cooking but also his passion for hunting, fishing and procuring ingredients direct from the source. Including such delectable dishes as: Eel and Whitebait Omelette; Venison with Blackberry Jus, Kumara and Potato Rosti and Pikopiko; and Roast Garlic and Thyme Prawns on Coconut Jasmine Rice, Peeti redefines Maori cuisine by blending traditional Maori ingredients and practices with the many modern culinary styles of New Zealand.

Maori Healing and Herbal

order quantity

NZ$ 100.00 each

Hardback

Author: Murdoch Riley

This book sets before the reader a compilation of printed and manuscript information on the healing practices of the New Zealand Maori.
It does not claim to be complete, indeed this is impossible, and probably always was, given the secrecy surrounding the rituals, practices and healing methods of individual iwi and tribes. The noted ethnologist Elsdon Best acknowledged that even in his day, when discussion could be held with persons of great knowledge, only a mere fraction of understanding could be obtained by a non-Maori researcher of the philosophies of the learned tohunga of pre-Euroman times. Therefore, the first part of the book entitled "Maori Healing and Health Topics'' incomplete as it must be, is particularly valuable since it draws together all the available information on spiritual healing, then directs the reader to the relevant herbs.

The "Maori herbal remedies'' section includes over 200 plants, some not previously ... more

Maori Peoples of New Zealand / Nga Iwi o Aotearoa

NZ$ 50.00 each

Paperback

Author: Te Ara - The Encyclopedia of New Zealand (Rangi McGarvey & Jock Phillips, editors)

First published September 2006.
2008 reprint
softcover

Contains latest census information
Who are the Maori of New Zealand? How did they get here and how did they settle the country? What are the main tribal groups in New Zealand, and where are they based? The first publication to come out of the online Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand project tells the story of the tangata whenua of Aotearoa, from their journeys across the vast Pacific Ocean to the histories of all the major iwi, including the contemporary issues they face today. No other book brings together in one place all these tribal histories. Based on the latest research and generously illustrated in full colour with superb mapping and photographs, this rich resource is an essential part of 'our' nation's story and fills an important gap in the history of New Zealand.

Meeting-Houses of the Ngati Porou o te tai Rawhiti : An illustrated guide

order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each

Paperback

Author: David Simmons

This lavishly illustrated history of the Te Tai Rawhiti area is the most complete and detailed record of former and existing meeting-houses of Ngati Porou, which covers the region from the north of Gisborne to the East Cape.
It is the result of over 30 years research by scholar David Simmons and goes beyond existing studies of ceremonial house exteriors to investigate those with little, if any, decorative features as well as those with completely carved interiors. More than 300 black and white photos of carvings held in local and international museums and private collections are examined, uncovering the rich history of master carvers, carving practices, and the communities that called these places home.
First published July 2006.

NZ$ 35.00 each

Paperback

Author: Paul Moon

In this remarkable sequel to his ground-breaking Tohunga: Hohepa Kereopa (2003), historian Dr Paul Moon again travels deep into Tuhoe territory – and deep into its past – to uncover a wealth of material. This time he reveals his discussions with Hohepa Kereopa on traditional plants, cultivation, gardening, foods, medicines, and other aspects of the natural Maori world. This book is indispensable for anyone with an interest in customary Maori life, and provides a unique perspective on the work of a great tohunga at the height of his powers.

Beautifully written, with vivid, memorable descriptions of encounters with Kereopa and his world, Moon has crafted a book that will serve as a taonga for generations to come.
