An Interesting Fact

Mission Statement
Our mission is to influence New Zealand cuisine with Maori recipes from the coast and to promote the Maori language nationally and internationally.

"Kai from the Coast" is a Young Enterprise company comprising six Year 12 students from Opotiki College taking part in the Young Enterprise Experience in 2008. For our company this is an extra-curricular opportunity and is run in our own time after school, weekends and holidays with an additional study period.  Our team possesses many individual talents and skills and almost the whole team has come from a Maori background which has helped immensely with our final concept.

We think our product is timely and will be a big hit in the tourism market and also nationally in NZ  because we have a professionally produced recipe book written in both Te Reo Maori and English. There is no other product on the market with the same features as "Kai from the Coast" has to offer.

Our book also features stunning photographs of the East Coast area of New Zealand.
