Afghan Cupcake

August 7, 2015 By Dane McGregor 2 Comments

Home bakers around New Zealand will be able to say that the Afghan biscuit is a staple in any cookie tin.

To celebrate these memories and my Ngāti Porou heritage, I decided to share my grandmother’s Kānga Waru recipe on my website for not only my own whānau to have, but for others across the motu.

Kānga Waru translated simply means corn steamed pudding. It’s easy, delicious and a great way to celebrate Matariki. Recipe link in my profile.
As we observe Matariki together as a nation this y As we observe Matariki together as a nation this year, I’ve found comfort re-familiarising myself with the 9 stars of Marariki that hold dominion over areas of our lives and environment.

Two stars in particular are holding significance for me this year as I remember those who’ve come before me and where I too am heading in my life, what are my ambitions?, what are my goals?. These two stars are Hiwa-i-te-rangi, associated with granting wishes and realising aspirations for the coming year, and of course Pōhutukawa, the star associated with those that have passed on. 

Wherever you are this long Matariki weekend, I hope you’re safe and well.
