We’re bringing you a special collaboration with Visa Wellington on a Plate. The Wellington Food Story Speaker Series is taking place at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

On this episode, Liz Mellish talks through the importance of food in Wellington's history from the perspective of Tangata Whenua. She talks about the kai that was prevalent before 1840. She guides us through our moana (ocean), awa (rivers and streams), māra (gardens and cultivation) and ngahere (bush and forest).
