Anne Thorp makes dinner for Riki Bennett, Rewi Spraggon & Bob Harvey at her Auckland home: baked paua with kina, a Maori Nicoise salad with Maori potatoes, seared tuna steaks and anchovies, a classic pork & puha; and some quick steaks with bok choi, sugar snaps, and roasted vegetables, with stewed feijoa & kiwifruit.

Fresh, unadulterated fare, mixed with fabulous music and eclectic guests are the essential ingredients for KAI ORA, a cuisine show on The Food Channel and Maori Television.

Hosted by the multi talented Anne Thorp, KAI ORA is a celebration of fine dining, Maori style.
