The Giving Series — Thank you!

Thank you so much for your nomination, if you are one of the two recipients, I will be in touch!

If not, keep an eye for next months round for another chance.

Ngā mihi,
Naomi

The Giving Series is a social media baking show, funded by Te Māngai Pāho. Recipes are documented and delivered through the Whānaukai page from Instagram and Facebook.

Over the years we have given away around 100 different recipes and gifts to various recipients.

We are currently producing Series 4, where 24 recipes and gifts will be delivered to people’s doors, over 12 months.

This show connects followers directly to the kai that they see on our page.

The goal is to showcase the beauty of te reo Māori through the lens of delicious kai.

NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
