About Kete

Here's What Our Local Families Have To Say!

Jane Smith

"I love that I can feed my whanau of 3 pretty much solely on Kete. Love the diversity of the recipes and the flavour combos and am grateful for the effort that goes into Kete."

Local Families

"We love receiving our Kete each week! Our kids love being involved in cooking the meat and vegetables and prepping the kai. they really get right into everything. It fulls our kids tummy’s up too and ours too."

Local Families

"Absolutely LOVE our kai kete bags. Very simple recipes that my teenagers can follow. Which is a HUGE relief when I have had a long day. They are able to follow the recipes given and cook dinner. This has been a cutting of kai costs in our whare as we have a whanau
of 6."

Local Families

"We love receiving kete each week feeds our whanau of 6 with ease, always packed nicely and the recipes are great."

Local Families

"Love all the recipes. Portions size is over the top! We have 6 in our whanau and have leftover all the time. Best Value."

Local Families

"Some amazing flavour in there. Any leftover I freeze for later. Thanks for providing this service. This is perfect for me because I am either busy or too tired to do our grocery shopping. We have always meal prepped and planned for the week, so this makes it easier for us. With school holiday coming up I have plenty of meat in our freezer and ready-made meals for quick heat and eat."
