Driving around Vanuatu, it’s easy to believe these 83 islands turn some incredible food - even before you set foot inside a restaurant or cafe. As the landscape whizzes past your car window, you’ll see dense tropical rainforest thick with giant ferns, twisting trunks, moss-covered roots, banyan trees stretching their limbs skyward and fields and fields of abundant produce.
