Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, President and Founder:

“The first book by Robert Oliver Me’a Kai was a surprising, yet easy decision
. It received the most important award of all for setting a new level for
cookbooks. It showed how one cookbook could be very ambitious, and try to 
have an impact on society, for health, food culture, and local economy”

Dr. Asif CHIDA
, Inclusive Growth and Private Sector, Regional Specialist
 UNDP Pacific Centre:

“Robert’s excellent communication and presentation skills has motivated many young people to enter into the niche employment areas of catering and as Chefs. Robert’s publications “Me’a Kai- The food and flavours of the South Pacific” and “Mea’ai Samoa” has not only given him a celebrity status but changed many homemakers and restaurants to the new ways of making meals using local produce.”

Marisa Tomei

“I have always known of Robert’s love for his native South Pacific. Through this book, we savour the dishes and hear the voices of the people of the region. To now that it reinforces the value of indigenous Pacific food makes it even better”
