This cooking show sees chef Peta Mathias set off on an international culinary adventure — without leaving New Zealand! Peta meets up with fellow foodies who have settled in Godzone from overseas, and asks them to share their favourite tastes of home. In this excerpt, Brazilian émigré Jacqueline cooks Peta a bean-filled feijoada, a Brazilian favourite. The dish combines small black beans with sausage, pork, bacon and other more controversial pig parts. Peta and Jakeline discuss variations on the traditional recipe, migrating to New Zealand, and the history of the dish, which originated as a slave meal.
It's very hard for an immigrant to come over here and continue your life. How could I be a lawyer in New Zealand or continue my studies, I needed to provide something to stay in New Zealand...– Brazilian Chef Jakeline Marciel explaining her decision to become a chef
