Tarakakai at Otago

Tarakakai at Otago Department of Human Nutrition, University of Otago


Dunedin | Ōtepoti Feed My Flat is brought to you by the Department of Human Nutrition.

It's a weekly student food bag, with recipes designed especially for flatting students. This is a non-profit initiative to provide healthy affordable meals despite the rising food cost. Perfect for flat meals, build cooking skills and learn to eat well on a budget. We post recipes, cooking tips and other helpful information for flatting students regularly on our Instagram. Visit
our website for more information.

It’s our last day running the food trailer for the year, so we’ve brought back a favourite — the classic Mexican bowl! It was created by some of our 400-level students a few years back and heaps of people have said how much they love it.

We’ll be closed for the rest of the year, but we’ll be back next year! Thank you to everyone who visited us and has been our regulars since the start of the semester, we’ll miss you 💛
