"Here is the recipe for our Beef Jerky. My daughter and son love it so much, so we would like to share it with all the other families. Enjoy!" - Yiqi's Whānau

Some favourite snacks of Leonardo's.

"We always have Hot Pot included in our meals for dinner once a week or when we celebrate a special occasion with our family. The kids really enjoy it and they also eat variety of vegetables and meat as well." - Leonardo + Whānau

"We always have this meal before a busy day because it has a lot of protein and we can serve it with our favourite vegetables as well." - Leonardo + Whānau

"Anish found this chocolate sauce recipe on YouTube and makes it at home. Our whānau like to enjoy this chocolate sauce with ice cream on our Friday movie nights." - Anish + Whānau

"This is a simple smoothie that we will whip up 3-4 times a week. Packed full of protein, calcium, filling but light for a before-sport snack. These are approximate measurements, you can add more or less of any of the ingredients and blend to your desired consistency." - Xavier + Whānau

"This is a family favourite and a regular rotation in our household. It is an Australian classic (Xavier is half Australian on his dad's side). We opened a pop-up restaurant just after lockdown centred around Xavier's dad's famous parmigianas. We are teaching Xavier how to make this dish and he is always keen to pitch in and help. His favourite part is getting messy while dredging the chicken breasts." - Xavier + Whānau

"One of Xavier's favourite foods is salmon and avocado sushi, so this is a variation that he loves to have for dinner. It takes next to no time to prepare on a busy week night. It is a very "add to your own taste" dish. Rice, salmon and avocado are the key ingredients and pretty much everything else is optional. If you don't have all the ingredients on hand it will still taste great!" - Xavier + Whānau

A Malaysian soup from Rufus + Mei Mei + Whānau!

"They are the best because the cookie is chewy and yummy. Mum puts them in my lunchbox and they are easy to make (mum made me write this)." - Rufus

Ngā mihi Zachary, for this awesome cheesecake recipe!

"A dessert recipe which is very close to our hearts , a double-layered sweet we prepare during Diwali. We hope the recipe is shared, tried and enjoyed by everyone. " - Aahana + Whānau

"Braised Pork Belly (Hong Shao Rou) is a classic Chinese dish, known for its balanced sweetand savory flavor, with tender and juicy pork." - Hanson + Luke + Whānau

"Rice balls (or "onigiri" in Japanese) are Atlas's all-time favourite. They originate from Japan and are made with rice and any filling of your choice, usually wrapped in roasted seaweed. They are nutritious, delicious, versatile, easy to carry, and fun to eat. They can also involve children in the preparation. They’re Atlas's top choice for school-packed lunches and picnics, and I hope you enjoy them too!" - Atlas + Whānau

"This is a dessert we have at a hākari (feast, celebration). Our whānau would traditionally put the tin into the hāngī or multi-kai cooker rather than a pot." - Ryker, JD + Whānau

"This is a favourite for our whānau and the boys, Nonna will normally make it when it is someone’s birthday or for Christmas Day." - Ryker + JD
