If you've got an appetite for homegrown cookbooks, Kai Time hits the spot.
Inspired by the abundant fare that comes from our land and sea, celebrity chef Peter Peeti – star of Kai Time On The Road – redefines Maori cuisine by blending traditional ingredients with New Zealand's modern culinary styles. His book draws on the popular show to present his favourite recipes, and the result overflows with melt-in-the-mouth morsels like Eel And Whitebait Omelette, Kumara And Potato Rosti and Venison With Blackberry Jus.
Peter's passion for fresh, local ingredients has also made him an enthusiastic hunter and fisherman. Cooking what you've caught yourself makes it even tastier, he says.
