"Cooking food underground, you CAN'T be serious!" is the usual response Neville Pettersson is used to hearing when he tries to explain the process of cooking a Hangi. Hangi is a traditional Maori cooking technique utilizing hot rocks and water to steam food underground. The methods used to prepare a Hangi are truly unique.
The whole process can literally take a whole day to complete.
Maori settlers in New Zealand pioneered the technique which is widely known for it's distinct flavor.
"I've created this site to make cooking your own Hangi a possibility for everyone" says the site's creator Neville Pettersson. The new site includes absolutely everything you need to know to be able to reproduce a Hangi at home.
If you ever travel to New Zealand, experiencing a Hangi is an absolute MUST try. "You can't truly say that you've been to New Zealand if you haven't tasted a Hangi" says Neville Pettersson the Hangi Guru.
