Description
The Hangi: make a fire, let it burn, then dig the ground and bury food, letting it cook in the warm earth - sounds easy and safe right? What is a traditional Māori boil up? What foods do Māori traditionally eat, hunt, gather and prepare and how does this match up to the food safety regimes of today? Kai brings people and cultures together and is often prepared in large quantities – but how can this be done safely? This presentation covers these topics and more, giving an insight into the indigenous food and culture of Aotearoa. (30min presentation)
