Hangi, a history

From Afternoons, 1:42 pm on 27 June 2019

Now, many of us will be very familiar with eating hangi, but how much do we know about the history of the cooking style? 

New winter festival Elemental AKL kicks off next week and includes a Matariki inspired approach to hangi with Auckland chef Rewi Spraggon. Rewi joins us to fill us in on the background and what innovations are being made with hangi.
