Monique Fiso honed her cooking skills in some top kitchens here and in New York - and now she's looking to her past to explore Māori cooking techniques and ingredients.
Monique is from Māori, Samoan and Pakeha heritage.
She and fellow Māori chef, Kane Bambery have set up HiaKai, which they describe as a pop up series - which involves running dining events around the country.
