Puha & Pakeha brings Maori flavour to the streets

Think MÄori food and Reuben sandwiches, pulled pork, fish chowder and piri piri chicken salads probably don't spring to mind. 

But these are a few of the dishes Jarrad and Belinda McKay are using to introduce native flavours – many of which have been right under Kiwis' noses for years – to the masses.

The couple take their matte-black Puha & PÄkehÄ caravan to various events and markets around Auckland, offering their unique blend of contemporary street food and traditional MÄori kai.

While the hÄngi is a recurring theme in their cooking, they've also made the most of rÄ“wena bread (used in their Reuben, among other things), horopito (spicing up the piri piri chicken) and kawakawa (infused into a meringue).
