This eBook includes an overview of Māori food in New Zealand over the past 700 years. I have the influence of Britain, other cultures, and Christianity on Māori food and dishes. Also included are several AI-inspired dishes (Midjourney/Discord). Additional focus on aesthetics - crockery & garnishing (Māori-inspired dish-up plates). See the contemporary Māori-shaped, formed and patterned plates. Traditional Māori-colours feature on the ceramic (pottery) plates containing the food (red, black & grey). These images and concepts should provide prompts and inspiration for chefs, foodies, artists, sculptors, and potters. This resource could be very useful to students in New Zealand who will be doing the new curriculum (NCEA Technology Level 1) in 2024. Food Technology students could find this resource helpful, as it is short, sharp, and concise.
