Philly Te Ama (one of our sister programs) launched a new project today and we’re so excited to tell you about it.

In the video, he speaks about the things that influence his cuisine and his commitment to local foods (we’re delighted to learn that he’s an avid home gardener).
Thanks Philly Te Ama, for making such a terrific video. We can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
