Based on the philosophy “the celebration of authentic Pacific food culture, as created and owned by Pacific people, will nourish all aspects of Pacific life, from the individual to the collective, from the economic to the cultural, from the agricultural to the ceremonial’’, this is a beautiful collection of recipes that celebrates that food is not just what is on the plate – it is where you come from, family, community, culture and identity.
