Cam's Kai - First Episode
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2016
The down-home Cameron Petley (Tūhoe, Ngāti Ranginui) speaks in both English and te reo Māori on his cooking show. A fan favourite from MasterChef New Zealand, Cam tours local markets, dines with whānau, and provides tips for tasty kai. In this first episode, he visits Avondale Market with Dead Lands actor Lawrence Makoare, where they meet market celebrities and pick-up mouth-watering fresh produce. They head home to shuck mussels, talk fusion food (mussel donuts!), and cook Makoare’s KFC ("kai for cuzzies") fritters. In return, Cam prepares a duck and watercress salad, making creative use of oranges.
I think it must be because I'm just an average guy that everyone can relate to. I don't try to fancy it up for the cameras or be someone I ain’t.– Presenter Cameron Petley on his screen success, in an interview with Stuff, 12 April 2017
