Whakatauki
The task I chose to do for Te Re Maori was to find a kiwaha or a whakatauki that relates to my whanau's experience during this lockdown. The whakatauki I chose was "Ka pu te ruha, ka hao te rangatahi" which means "As a old net withers, a new one is made". This realtes to my whanau because lately during lockdown we've been finding my Oma's really old baking/cooking recipe's and adding in new ingredients as well as sorting through her old teaching stuff.

Ka mau te wehi Miriam! Pai ki te kitea, te pānuitia tō whakaaro mō te whakatauki nei. I loved reading this, both my nanas and mum shared delicious recipes with my whānau while I was growing up. I only wished I had recorded them somewhere. There are a few favourites I missed out on and that makes me pouri. If I could give any advice to someone with whānau as precious as yours is to learn as much from them as possible while they are still healthy and well. Let me see if I can add one of these recipes to our collaborative recipe book, so all get to enjoy. Could you add your most favourite from your Oma?
ReplyDeleteKia ora Miriam,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful whakatauki. I love the connection you have made to your whānau. I also have my grandmother's recipe book and there are a number of things me and my daughter enjoy making from them. It sounds like you have a real taonga.
Keep up the great learning and blogging,

Wananei Miriam! I can really see how this whahatauki reflects your time in lockdown. So lovely to see you and your whānau taking the time to sort through your Oma's things, I bet that has been really nice for you. Your Oma was a teacher?! What did she teach? I would love to hear more about your Oma in another blog post or in person when we get back to kura. Ka pai e hoa :)
ReplyDeleteThat's precious, Miriam. There are some traditional recipes my mum and her sisters have passed on to me and my sisters. My mother also had the old Edmonds Cook Book which is still available in supermarkets today, and I have some favourites that I've always add a few different things to - I guess that's a way that new recipes can get created.. I can see that you will treasure this whakatauki and what it will bring to your whanau including generations to come. Nga mihi, Mezza.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome thing to do Miriam. My Nana died last year and she was an amazing chef and we did not write down or learn any of her recipes, you are super lucky to have your Oma's recipes. What has been your favourite recipe you have made during lockdown? Were the changes better?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work. Ka pai tō mahi!
Sound like you are having some reka treats during lockdown. One of my favourite things in the world is to make my Nana's chocolate chip cookies as it reminds me of my family and spending time together. I think it's great you are adapting the recipes to your tastes as well. Do you have any pictures of your baking?
