The cuisine, traditions and environment of Samoa presented in recipes, photographs and stories by award-winning chef Robert Oliver. In his first book, Me'a Kai, Robert examined Polynesian cuisine from around the Pacific. That book won Best Book in the 2011 Gourmand Cookbook Awards. Now he concentrates on Samoa, where he spent several years while growing up. This book shows the traditional cuisine of Samoa and looks at the provenance of the ingredients through organic farmers and their land. Stories, portraits and the fabulous scenery combine to make another vibrant and colourful book filled with delicious food and show off the heritage of a beautiful island nation. In May 2014, Mea'ai Samoa was named the winner of the Gourmand Award for Best TV Chef Cookbook In The World 2013 - a great honour.
