In New Zealand a boil-up is a colloquial term for a method of cooking used by Māori people. A simple method of cooking, a boil-up is literally the boiling of different foodstuffs in a large pot (usually a stockpot) together to create a sort of crossover between a soup and a stew. Traditionally ingredients used are pork bones, Sonchus, potato, pumpkin, watercress, and dumplings.

It is also a term used in the Eastern Provinces of Canada to refer to an afternoon break with tea and sometimes sandwiches.

Also used as Australian slang for a tea or coffee break.
