About the Eating Our Roots Docuseries
The Emmy Award-winning docuseries Eating Our Roots, featuring Chef Ippy Aiona, is a locally produced, eight-part journey into the heart of Hawai‘i’s food culture. Each episode pays tribute to the cherished ingredients that define our islands, while spotlighting the Big Island’s farmers, ranchers, foragers and cultural practitioners – those who work the land and sea with quiet, fierce devotion.
From golden honey to the revered wild pig to the sacred limu kohu, Eating Our Roots uncovers the rich mo‘olelo (stories) behind these iconic foods, the modern-day challenges they face and the community champions striving to preserve them for future generations. Inspired by each journey, Chef Ippy transforms every ingredient into a simple, soulful dish – inviting viewers to reconnect with the ‘āina and the deep abundance it offers.
