Earth Oven

Acclaimed actor Temuera Morrison (Star Wars' Jango and Boba Fett) hosts EARTH OVEN, a cultural, round-the-world adventure that explores the earth oven - a way of cooking that transcends location and time. At the heart of the journey is the hangi - New Zealand’s traditional earth oven - and Temuera’s deep personal connection to this ancestral way of cooking. But earth ovens are found in Indigenous cultures around the world, each with their own rich stories. From the the volcanic islands of Hawaii to the sacred mountains of Chile, the red soils of Australia, the heartlands of Mexico, and the mystical landscapes of Jordan, Temuera explores how food, fire, and earth connect people across continents. Each episode is a celebration of Indigenous resilience, culinary tradition, and the spiritual bond between land and culture. EARTH OVEN offers a globally resonant series that’s as nourishing to the soul as it is to the senses.
