Every Bite is a nation-wide four week program, designed to help households become more food resourceful, with the goal of reducing food waste across Aotearoa. Our guest Chef Aaron Freeman (Part of the Polynesian Cooks team, runners up in Season 1 of My Kitchen Rules) will perform a live demonstration in making desserts, with a distinctive Pasifika flavor. Join us to learn yummy, easy, and simple cooking and food prep techniques to make your kai go further and save money. Less waste, more savings, and delicious results the whole whanau will love!
