| An essential New Zealand preserving bible for your bookshelves, Digby Law’s Pickle and Chutney Cookbook Back in print after nearly ten years, many of the best vegetable recipes seem to have origins in Digby Law’s Vegetable Cookbook. I find Jamie Oliver’s recipes inspiring, innovative and very workable. His Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life is a particular favourite. Courtesy of Rural Women New Zealand, A Good Spread contains some hearty and well tested recipes to try. |
I’m tempted by A Second Helping: More from Ladies, a Plate, the sequel to Ladies, a Plate: Traditional Home Baking, an appealing Kiwi book of traditional baking. The French take on how to maintain the perfect figure without deprivation in French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure. Sophie Gray with her Destitute Gourmet: Everyday Smart Food for the Family Cuisine Food Editor, Ray McVinnie’s Eat Jo Seagar’s The Cook School Recipes. A lovely fat book, full of inspiration to bake and cook. Donna Hay’s No Time to Cook: Fresh and Easy Recipes for a Fast Forward World

Lots of seasonal recipes for cultivated and wild food in The River Cottage Year.

From the doyenne of slow cooking, Joan Bishop’s New Zealand Crockpot and Slow Cookbook.
A photograph for every recipe and all the ones I’ve tried so far from A Treasury of New Zealand Baking have been superb. |
