“Tohunga Tūmau has always been about celebrating our indigenous food culture and proving how great it can be. Rangatahi Tūmau is about building confidence amongst our up and coming chefs, encouraging them to learn and take Kai Māori with them, where ever their careers take them.”
- Rewi Spraggon, Hangi Master
Rangatahi Tūmau
Rangatahi Tūmau – is our programme where aspiring young chefs get to join the Tohunga Tūmau kitchen for the week and learn the art of Kai Māori from some of our most experienced and talented chefs.

If you're an aspiring young chef then please reach out with your Resume - especially if you're a Rotorua local. Spaces will be limited!
We are also looking for champions and sponsors to help us strengthen this programme for next year and further into the future. Kōrero with us today!
