This week, Pio & Sonia try a variety of tasty kai in Napier. From avocado orchards, out to sea and to the local ice cream shop, it's a summer affair with the wonderful city of Ahuriri.
Sachie travels to Nagano, the home of the world’s leading manufacturer of miso. Back in her kitchen it's three ways with miso paste - grilled eggplant, pork katsu with miso sauce, and a miso walnut brownie.
Sonya & Pio find out what it's like to feed the hungry & the homeless in NZ’s biggest city, Auckland. They're on a mission to gather free food from produce suppliers and restaurants.
FINAL: Sachie meets some Japanese artisans keeping old traditions alive, before heading back to her kitchen to make clams with saké and green tea cheesecake.
Situated 25km north-west of Auckland city is the rural community of Kumeu. With plenty of wineries, orchards and roadside produce stalls, it’s the perfect place for a kai safari.
Sonia & Pio visit Waihi, gateway to the Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty. Sonia takes on the surf to collect some shellfish, while Pio sets the net to target mullet and flounder.
