Chef Monica Galetti's guide to Samoa: the best poke, where to stay on the beach, and the perfect swimming spot

Where is your favourite destination and why?

It’s Samoa — but I don’t get there enough for obvious reasons. It’s where I was born. There’s something emotional that happens as soon as I touch down there. It takes my breath away, because of the memories. Where you come from, that’s something special. I grew up in New Zealand and I have now officially lived in London for longer but that’s where I will always belong and where I call home. It’s such an underrated place, and it’s changing a lot.
