Presenter Pio Terei believes “every Kiwi should know how to make a hāngī”. In this documentary he invites viewers on a journey across Aotearoa, gathering ingredients for a hāngī. Starting in Hokianga, he meets the Rawiri whānau who fish using traditional methods, and watches Te Maapi Pere demonstrate tūna trapping. In Bluff, he visits the Metzger family, who continue the tradition of muttonbirding and crafting pōhā (seaweed bags) to preserve their catch. Lastly, Terei stops by Dell Wihongi's South Auckland garden to dig up potatoes, before returning home to bring it all together in a giant hāngī feast.
