The sun-kissed islands of Samoa are home to a culture rich in traditions of seafaring, faith, family and food. Sunday is set aside for Church and a feast cooked in the traditional umu oven. A history of colonisation by Germany and Britain have left their legacy on the country’s cuisine, including a version of chop suey attributed to the Chinese workers employed by German colonists.

Acclaimed chef Michael Meredith will take the traditional ingredients of Samoa, some of them familiar and some unfamiliar to Aucklanders, and cook up dishes that will leave you hungry for more.
