Since winning Masterchef in 2014, Kārena and Kasey have travelled to over 50 destinations across the globe learning about food and culture and been involved with numerous food events and activations throughout New Zealand. They have hosted two seasons of the award-winning series on TVNZ1 Kārena and Kasey's Kitchen Diplomacy which saw them travel to a new overseas destination each episode.

They have also cooked for a number of New Zealand dignitaries and celebratory events around the world, including the New Zealand Consulate Shanghai, ANZAC celebrations in Los Angeles, New Zealand Embassy Jakarta Indonesia, New Zealand Embassy Italy, New Zealand Embassy Korea, New Zealand Consulate General New Caledonia and the New Zealand Embassy Chile.

Kārena and Kasey have been the food editors for Mana magazine and also food contributors for the Herald on Sunday. They have also self-published two award winning cookbooks For the Love of… and Hungry.

Kitchen Takeover combines platefuls of creativity and innovation by offering ever-changing, unforgettable edible experiences. Diners come from around the country to experience their secret pop-up restaurants, featuring envelope pushing food in unique locations. The brand was recently awarded two NZ event Awards, for Best Lifestyle and Best Arts and Culture Awards beating events such as Cuba Dupa and Wanaka Food & Wine Festival.
