Real Pasifik - Series Two

This cooking show sees Kiwi-born, Fiji-raised chef Robert Oliver roving the Pacific, exploring local food culture, and looking to inspire tourist resorts to include indigenous cuisine traditions in their offerings. Oliver's itinerary is busy, with visits to Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, Niue, Fiji and French Polynesia — before ending on an episode in Auckland. Highlights include the incredible kaimoana (seafood) harvested each episode, the fascinating local characters Oliver learns from, and special meals that take a lot of time and a lot of hands to prepare. The pork smoked umu (volcanic rock oven) in episode four is a great example of how food can bring a whole village together. The full episode guide is available here.
