A history of kai in the capital with Liz Melish

A whakatauki, or proverb, is providing inspiration for Te Atiawa's Liz Mellish who's kicking off a series of food history talks for Wellington on a Plate in the capital next month, by prominent Wellingtonians. "Nau te rourou, naku te rourou, ka ora te manuhiri" or "with your food basket and mine, the people will thrive." Liz Mellish has an accomplished business career spanning over 40 years which began with a milk run, then a business smoking fish with her husband. She is now, among many other senior roles, the Chair of Te Raukura Whare Waka and serves on the Maori Heritage Council. The Visa Wellington On a Plate Wellington Food Story Speaker Series features one session every week over the month of the festival, it's free entry, taking place at Te Papa.
