AI-inspired Māori Food.

By William Van Zyl

This eBook includes an overview of Māori food in New Zealand over the past 700 years. I have the influence of Britain, other cultures, and Christianity on Māori food and dishes. Also included are several AI-inspired dishes (Midjourney/Discord). Additional focus on aesthetics - crockery & garnishing (Māori-inspired dish-up plates). See the contemporary Māori-shaped, formed and patterned plates. Traditional Māori-colours feature on the ceramic (pottery) plates containing the food (red, black & grey). These images and concepts should provide prompts and inspiration for chefs, foodies, artists, sculptors, and potters.

 

This resource could be very useful to students in New Zealand who will be doing the new curriculum (NCEA Technology Level 1) in 2024. Food Technology students could find this resource helpful, as it is short, sharp, and concise.

William Van Zyl

The author had an interesting and unique childhood. Not travelling abroad - as you would expect - but venturing into the fields, bushes, tools sheds and mysterious underground tunnels around his neighbourhood. His happy place was - and still is - tinkering with ideas, science, and new possibilities. Many times while cycling he will get new ideas; he brings the unexpected, the unique, the creative in a flurry on a page or in a sketch. To this day he dreams of vicious wars and sophisticated weaponry in an innocent child's scout cave. He loves diagrams, timelines, cross sections, sketches, and details of sinister and hidden concepts and ideas; always looking for a new mystery to decode and to encode. He investigates and explores extravagant thoughts which he includes in children's books, stories and articles; he loves to include philosopher’s perspectives, articles,  intriguing stories, and poetry in his writing. Academic and research work are also his forte. He always offers a simple but practical explanation within an engaging context. Not your ordinary thinker! A lifelong scholar and teacher.
