Phoenix House Hangi

Today the Phoenix House children showed off their culinary skills as they prepared vegetables and stuffing for our Hangi today for lunch. They helped to peel, chop and cut the vegetables as well as pulling apart the bread into small pieces for our stuffing. They each took turns for adding and mixing the ingredients together.

The children discussed at the table how they help their mums and dads at  home when making dinner and mentioned what their favourite meals  are at home to make and eat.

As the food was added to the 'Multi Kai Cooker and placed outside for the children to watch. As lunchtime approached the room filled with the smell of delicious food. We all sat down together and tried some of this mouth watering hangi. Some children even went up for seconds....and thirds! It went down an absolute treat!
This was a great learning experience for the children to be actively involved in and to taste food from a different culture and cooked in a unique way.
