Dr Jen Martin (translator) finds happiness in the company of her whanau and friends, particularly her nieces and nephews. She returns to her tribal home of Mitimiti in the far north for spiritual sustenance. Of Te Rarawa descent, her marae is Matihetihe.

Jen is a graduate of Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo, The Institute of Excellence in the Maori Language. Te reo Maori and matauranga Maori have been the focus of all her University studies and the contract work she undertakes professionally.

Since Jen and her older sister Steph were children, cooking has brought generations of her whanau together. Jen’s nieces and nephews particularly enjoy baking. The translations in this book are intended to support children everywhere to speak te reo Maori while they are cooking. The recipes will unite the generations in their enjoyment of family-based activities.
