Tapara's sweet take on the traditional rice pudding comes from holidays spent at her kuia's farm when she was a child. Her kuia lived on a farm and did not have electricity, so she relied on her woodstove or cooked outside on the open fire. Reid-Hiakita's kuia would buy butter, milk and cream from a local trading store when collecting the children from the service car, and on arriving home, would use the ingredients to make her "tasty, delicious rice pudding".
This recipe was part of Anchor’s partnership with The AM Show and Newshub where we discovered what gave Kiwis all around New Zealand the feeling of home.
