About Mabu Mabu and Chef Nornie Bero:

Mabu Mabu is a Torres Strait Islander owned and run business with an emphasis on using fresh, seasonal and native ingredients to create beautiful dishes that bring people together. Mabu Mabu is a term from the Torres Strait that translates to 'help yourself.'Traditionally, a Mabu Mabu is a banquet, shared table or big family meal. It's how we like to enjoy food on the islands: surrounded by the people we love. Our small range of tropical sauces and native spices are here to add some beautiful Australian flavours to your meals at home.

Nornie Bero is the head chef and business owner. Originally from Mer Island in the Torres Strait, Nornie has been a professional chef for over 20 years. Her style of cooking is all about generosity and flavour. She has been creating dishes using native ingredients for much of her career, and is currently on a mission to make Indigenous herbs, spices, vegetables and fruits part of everyone's kitchen pantry.

Sauces:
- Green Tomato Hot Sauce - a zesty Mexican style hot sauce that can be used with tacos or as a salad dressing (green tomatoes, bush tomato, jalapeño chillies, fresh coriander, garlic, onion, white vinegar, lime juice).
- Pineapple Hot Sauce - a tropical hot sauce for fish and white meats, or as a salad dressing (chillies, fresh pineapple, fresh coriander, lime juice, white vinegar, salt, sugar).
- Island Marinade - The Torres Strait has a long history of trading with Asian and Polynesian peoples. As a result, you will often find soy sauce in our cooking. Use this marinade to make an outstanding fried chicken or barbecue pork (dark soy, ginger, garlic).
- Organic Sriracha - A south-east Asian style hot sauce with a mild heat. Perfect for those who love to add a dash of chilli to every meal (organic red peppers, carrots, native pepper berries, chillies, garlic, white wine vinegar, salt).
