Ko te hoahoa o ngā takai kai, tuatahi, ka puta he reka tirohanga me te hinengaro ki ngā kaihoko. Ka pā tika tōna kounga ki te hoko o ngā hua. Ehara i te mea he ataahua te tae o te nuinga o ngā kai, engari ka whakaatahia mā roto i ngā tikanga maha hei hanga i tōna āhua me tōna āhua. He tino pai ake, he momona ake, he ātaahua ake hoki ngā tae ki ngā kaihoko.
①Ko te tae te hononga tino nui i roto i te hoahoa takai kai, ā, koinei hoki te mōhiohio tere rawa atu ka taea e ngā kaihoko te whiwhi, ka taea te whakatakoto i te āhua mō te takai katoa. Ka taea e ētahi tae te hoatu tohu reka pai, ā, ko ētahi tae he rerekē noa iho. Hei tauira: ka āhua kawa te tangata i te hina me te mangu; ka āhua tote te kikorangi pouri me te kikorangi; ka āhua kawa te tangata i te kakariki pouri.
②Nā te mea he reka, he tote, he kawa, he kawa, he "arero" kakara te nuinga, he maha anō hoki ngā "reka". Hei whakaata i ngā momo kare ā-roto reka ki runga i te takai, me te tuku tika i ngā mōhiohio reka ki ngā kaihoko, me whakaata e te kaiwhakamahere i runga i ngā tikanga me ngā ture o te tirohanga a te tangata ki te tae. Hei tauira:
■Ka hoatu e te hua whero he reka ki te tangata, ā, ko te tae whero e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā takai he mea nui hei whakaatu i te reka. Ka hoatu hoki e te whero he hononga mura me te whakanui ki te tangata. He tikanga whakanui me te mura te whakamahinga o te whero ki te kai, ki te tupeka me te waina.
■He rite te kōwhai ki ngā keke hou kua tunua, ā, he kakara ataahua tōna. Ina whakaatahia te kakara o te kai, ka whakamahia te kōwhai. Kei waenganui i te whero me te kōwhai te karaka-kōwhai, ā, he rite te reka ki te karaka, he reka, he paku kawa.
■Ko te hou, te ngawari, te pakari, te kawa me ētahi atu reka me ngā momo reka ka kitea whānuitia i roto i te raupapa tae kakariki.
■Ko te mea whakakatakata, he momona, he kanapa hoki ngā kai a te tangata, engari he onge te kitea o ngā kai kikorangi ka taea te kai e te tangata i te ao tūturu. Nō reira, ko te mahi matua o te kikorangi i roto i te whakamahere takai kai he whakarei ake i te tirohanga, kia nui ake te akuaku me te huatau.
③Mō ngā āhuatanga kaha me ngā āhuatanga ngoikore o te reka, pērā i te ngawari, te piri, te mārō, te pakari, te maeneene me ētahi atu reka, ka whakawhirinaki ngā kaihoahoa ki te kaha me te kanapa o te tae hei whakaata. Hei tauira, ko te whero pouri te tohu i ngā kai he nui te reka; ko te whero whero te tohu i ngā kai he ngawari te reka; ko te whero karaka te tohu i ngā kai he iti te reka, me ētahi atu.
