Whanaukai
Feel-good baking to share aroha and feed hungry tummies
Delightful baking to put smiles on faces, from tried-and-tested classics to new twists on crowd-pleasers
Baking should be a simple pleasure, and celebrated baker Naomi Toilalo shares more than 70 of her tohutao reka — delicious recipes, all made without fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. Bursting with bold flavours, this cheekily indulgent cookbook shows you how to make amazing sweet treats to create memories and celebrate life with the people you love.
Featuring breads, slices, biscuits, cakes and pastries, Whanaukai is a window into the whakapapa that inspired Naomi's passion for baking, where feeding people has been part of her life for as long as she can remember. From her South Otago farming roots to the manaakitanga of Te Araroa marae and raising a household of four energetic daughters, kai brings together friends, family and neighbours.
With options to simplify recipes or go all out, Whanaukai includes fan-favourite creations such as:
-
everyday 'hero buns'
-
marshmallow slice
-
cinnamon scrolls
-
banoffee pie
-
tropical cake
-
alongside smoko classics like peppermint slice, lamingtons and cheese scones.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
