Notes

Kiwis love their food, especially all those goodies that are unique to New Zealand. This book is chock-full of stories about the food we regard with affection - from Anzac biscuits to whitebait, chocolate fish to the Sunday roast - and is a quirky celebration of our national cuisine. More than 20 recipes are included so that you can create such Kiwi Classics as Afghans, Pavlovas, Feijoa jam, or Ginger crunch. It explores the history of our well-known food brands such as Vogels, Marmite and Weet-bix, investigates the tall tales that surround the origins of the likes of Lamingtons and Neenish Tarts, and provides the low-down on Kiwi culinary traditions such as Christmas, birthday parties and ‘ladies a plate’, along with a fun collection of facts.
