Te Teko's Tu Teao Marae are among the eight teams chosen to blend the best ingredients with a distinctly marae flavour.
Teams representing Te Ngaere Bay in the Far North to Kaikoura in the South have been selected from almost 100 marae wanting to be part of the exciting new series.
We have a team of six ringawera with two reserves who will step up to the challenge. Tu Teao Marae cooks, Lorraine Hale and Phillipa Moses say.
"Its going to be a crack up, but it should be good." Lorraine and Phillipa said.
Filming of Marae Kai Masters begins next week around the country with teams showcasing their culinary skills on their home turf before they travel to Auckland to compete.
