SYNOPSIS : Neil Reid has been creating traditionally modernised Māori kai, using a Hāngi earth oven for many decades. He grew up watching and learning the process of the Hāngi through his ancestors during the whanau Christmas parties they had in their homestead, Maketu. Neil decided to take this knowledge to his new home in South Auckland and began creating his own hangi with the help of his whanau. Guiding his younger generations through the all-day procedure, we watch as the Reid whanau come together to create, eat and enjoy New Zealand's oldest dish.
