Kiribati to Aotearoa with Teri Taukoriri

Sue Berman talks with Teri Taukoriri about growing up in Kiribati and her favourite fish and cooking methods here in Aotearoa New Zealand. In the first part Teri recalls everyday meals and then shares memories of special celebrations and associated cooking in Kiribati. Fish is everyday, chicken every now and then but pigs are for special occasions. Teri goes on to talk about how important fish is to the family here in Aotearoa and her favourite way to cook and prepare fish. This track includes a surprising use for Kina!
