Show notes

Kia found solace in the kitchen after losing both parents in his teens. Working at the Avondale RSA, he found stability and purpose under the guidance of two chefs. Cooking became his refuge, offering structure amid grief. Beyond mere task, it became a way to care for others, inspiring him to mentor new chefs with a gentler approach. Kia challenges masculinity norms in Aotearoa through vulnerability and empathy, reshaping kitchen dynamics. He advocates for mental health discussions, creating judgment-free spaces. For Kia, laughter and joy are as vital as food and music, weaving connections and adding lightness to life's experiences. The kitchen has been Kia's lifeline in more ways than one.
