The Pantry

Ten entries

The pantry of Aotearoa is built from forest, shoreline, and sea. Native plants — fern fronds, pepper leaf, seaweed, and bitter berry — provide the foundation, while the kumara anchors the starch at the centre of the table. Fish and bird complete the store, each tied to particular coasts and seasons.
