Karena y Kasey Bird
Chefs at Karena & Kasey Project (Maketu, New Zealand)
These New Zealand sisters have specialised in using food to tell stories after winning Masterchef New Zealand 2014.
Karena and Kasey are sisters who are staunch defendants of Maori excellence and New Zealand food. After winning Masterchef New Zealand 2014, they travelled the world, eating and cooking, and are specialists in customised storytelling meals. "We believe that food is not just about filling stomachs, but also about feeding the soul". The sisters grew up between the coastal community of Maketu and their great-grandparents' house in Rotorua, surrounded by Ohinemutu's vapour and geothermal activity.
