Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.
Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.
Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.
When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.
“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

I am fully Early Childhood and Montessori trained, and have been teaching for 15 years. I absolutely adore children of all ages and especially using the Montessori Approach.
I am able to have x4 children in my care, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9-3pm.
My environment is calming, beautiful and sunny, with a huge back yard for children to run around in. A sandpit, swing and mud kitchen are underway along with some other fun outside experiences.
I am fun, passionate, enthusiastic and just a big kid who loves to have fun!! I teach children's yoga also on site so will incorporate this into our weekly programme.
Montessori is all about the goal of nurturing each child's natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.
Qualities of the prepared classroom include: structure, order, freedom of movement, and freedom of choice.
Within this structured space, children learn through hands-on experiences. Especially relevant are the beautifully made Montessori learning materials that children work with to make independent learning discoveries.
The children are guided in their learning by the Montessori teachers, who act as the link between the children, and the prepared environment.
The teacher’s role is to prepare the classroom, and observe and guide their students in their learning. As a result, children progress at their own pace, according to their own abilities.
Through work in the Montessori environment, children learn to develop concentration, self-discipline, and a love of learning.
Im open for people to come and have a look at the environment, and get a feel for the space.
