Earth Oven
With his trademark warmth and humour, Temuera Morrison explores awe-inspiring landscapes, samples unforgettable cuisine, and shines a light on the deep cultural roots of communal cooking.
Armed with his love of hāngī and grounded in the principles of te ao Māori, Temuera Morrison uses kai as a powerful vehicle to connect cultures and celebrate indigenous knowledge. From the steaming pits of Aotearoa to traditional earth ovens across the world, Earth Oven reveals how the ancient cooking technique of underground cooking has shaped civilizations for thousands of years.
Guided by values like whanaungatanga (relationship), manaakitanga (hospitality and respect), and tapu/noa (sacred/ordinary), this series is as heartwarming as it is educational—sharing Māori joy and wisdom in every episode.
At a time when we’re all hungry for connection, Earth Oven serves up food, fun, and a taste of indigenous culture to the world.
