Pātaka Kai Interview on Breakfast with Jessica Hutchings - 07/05/2025

A new book, Pātaka Kai challenges the dominant food narrative, highlighting the Indigenous food heroes of Aotearoa and offering a bold, new direction.

The book was co-written by verified hua parakore farmers, Indigenous researchers and food sovereignty leaders Jessica Hutchings and Jo Smith, and now I have the pleasure of chatting to Dt Jessica Hutchings here on Parakuihi. Jessica is a director, a Kaupapa Māori Researcher, author and Yoga Teacher.
