Format:Hardcover
I love this book! I love cooking and have a wide collection of cookbooks. I was given this as a Christmas present after watching her television series (shown in NZ). I had already tried a few of the recipes from her show and not only were they delicious but very straightforward. It's quite a large book, with glossy photos of the dishes, which I find helpful when trying new recipes. The book has lots of menu ideas when cooking for groups and she gives many tips to help you adapt recipes. I also have one of her other books and the recipes are tried and true, she knows her stuff.
HIghly recommend the Bacon and Egg pie (a kiwi classic) delicious for picnics
The Best Ever Chocolate Cake is delicious, perfect for birthday parties as it feeds the five thousand. I made this for my Father-in-law's birthday and his whole office raved about it for weeks. You make this in one big bowl and one cake tin - minimum washing up.
The crumble topping is delicious
The Cloudberry cake is a non-bake cake perfect for hot summer days
The pork belly recipe is also delicious.
Her recipes do feed a lot of people, so I often halve them or save them for family gatherings. I know quite a few people with this book and feedback is always "Have you tried ....? It's delicious! I haven't really scratched the surface of all the recipes I want to try.
If you get a chance to watch her series, it's a lovely ode to New Zealand summers and the choice of fresh produce here. It's very inspiring despite her slightly strange accent, (think Kiwi who's lived in America). Most of the ingredients are readily available and she offers swap outs. Buy this book and try her recipes, you won't regret it.

Was in Wanaka NZ whilst this was on TV there and couldnt wait to get home to the cooker in England to try out some of these recipes. They are all simple ingredients and not a bit complicated. The Ultimate Choc Cake was just that...fantastic! Am slowly working through the book and have not found a recipe we havnt loved yet. Must buy another one of Annabels. The series on TV had beautiful filming locations too.

I LOVE this book! If you are no supercook but love to make yummy food for your friends and family, this book will be your best friend.
I love the way the recipes don't need loads of tricky equipment or ingredients and everything I have made from it works beautifully and astonishes me( a not very super cook)by looking like the photo in the book AND tasting terrific.
Thanks so much Annabel Langbein for writing a recipe book for cooks, not chefs.
My only complaint is that my copy is getting very,very stained from so much use!
