'Me'a kai' means 'Come! Eat!' in Tongan, and this friendly welcome Sums up the spirit of Me'a Kai, The Food and Flavours of the South Pacific. A remarkable and loving culinary journey through Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, the Cook Islands and Vanuatu, its 90-plus recipes conjure the spirit and warmth of island life.
The cuisines of the South Pacific island nations are known for their sensational use of coconut cream, fresh fruit and the most delicate fish. Outside the large resort hotels, skilled local chefs prepare the most delicious meals, the range of which would surprise most tourists.
New Zealand-born chef Robert Oliver, who has had a stellar career in the United States restaurant industry, returned to Fiji, where he grew up, to rediscover the art of Pacific cooking. He traveled to Tonga, Niue, Tahiti, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands to track down the most skilled local chefs.
This outstanding, groundbreaking book adapts their recipes for modern cuisines and brings together a wealth of South Pacific cooking, organized country by country, with more than 90 recipes and photographs that capture the essence of the Pacific.
And there is much more than just recipes. Along the way, Robert pauses to tell fascinating stories about his encounters with both local chefs and food producers. Flipping through the pages will feel like you're going on vacation!
'Through connecting the traditional food and cultures of the South Pacific to international tourism, Me'a Kai is breaking new ground in ensuring that local food communities can safeguard their traditions by giving economic value, not only to the food, but also to the culture.' — Carlo Petrini, founder and president, Slow Food
'I have always known of Robert's love for his native South Pacific. Through this book, we savour the dishes and hear the voices of the people of the region. To know that it reinforces the value of Pacific indigenous food makes it even better.' — Marisma Tomei
'This is the book the world has been waiting for. Those of us who are connected to the South Pacific, who visit the islands frequently and who love the vibrant culture and authentic cuisine that is offered everywhere can now extend our voyages of discovery. Robert Oliver and Tracy Berno's Me'a Kai is a gift to read and cherish forever.' — Lauraine Jacobs, President, New Zealand Guild of Food Writers
