In what was a truly special event on Saturday, Dame Cindy and Dr Davies welcomed guests to Government House for Hākari Fusion, a Wellington on a Plate event celebrating Aotearoa’s oldest form of cooking – the hāngī. Hāngī Master Rewi Spraggon joined the Government House chefs to create a feast cooked in the House’s new permanent hāngī pit, which combined traditional and modern cooking techniques. The evening was filled with music, waiata and kapa haka, and showcased local kai that included plants grown on the grounds. The event was free to the public, with 180 lucky guests selected from a ballot, becoming the first of many to enjoy hāngī cooked on site at Government House Wellington.
