Description
Immigrant New Zealanders share their culinary tradtions, stories and recipes from 26 countries.
More than a recipe book, this colourful collection of stories and recipes arose from a unique community project and invites us to explore the dishes and food lore of 26 people from Asia, Africa, the Pacific, South America, Europe and The Middle East. All recipes have been adapted for use with locally available ingredients. Each chapter: • Presents the story of one migrant – how they learned to prepare and cook the traditional foods in their country of birth • Describes a range of dishes reflecting the flavours and food style of that culture • Contains a collection of recipes which together form a complete meal, and singly are attractive and tasty additions to any cook’s repertoire.
