Description

New Zealand has an abundance of quality cafes and restaurants overlooking its breathtaking coastline. Coastal Kitchen is a celebration of these establishments and the exceptional cuisine that can be found there. From the farthest north to the deepest south, the beauty, attractions and gastronomical delights of each culinary mecca is described via regional introductions. A range of recipes has been selected, featuring only the freshest, tastiest produce. While fish and seafood dishes feature prominently, a full range of delicious meats, vegetarian dishes and desserts are also included to create a substantial recipe book that will cater to all tastes. From lively beach cafes with windswept backdrops to harbourside fine dining; from serene vineyards with sensational sea views to culinary caravans right on the sand, a wide variety of eateries have contributed their favourite recipes to form this collection. The extraordinary photographic talent of Ian Batchelor captures the food in situ, weaving in gorgeous coastal shots to truly capture the seaside eating experience and New Zealand's magnificent coastline. First published November 2008.
