Seasonal Specials

New Zealand waters are endowed with a rich variety of seafood and we are becoming increasingly conscious of the health benefits of seafood. Indeed, nutritionists recommend that we consume one to four serves (100g each) of seafood a week to take advantage of beneficial minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. This mouth watering cookbook is full of seafood recipes that will appeal to families who want more than just a fresh fish fillet fried in breadcrumbs or mussels cooked in batter. The dishes featured also reflect our multi-cultural population and the increasing appeal of Thai, Chinese, Moroccan and Fusion dishes using seafood found in New Zealand waters. As well as the recipes themselves, there is a guide to fish species, tips for which wines go best with different seafoods and information on sustainable fishing.
