WONDERFUL WAIRARAPA

Here's the trio of authors in Hedley's Bookshop in Masterton. It was a first as Kathy and Ginny cooked up some greens grown by Jeremy, a local veggie grower who has a weekly stall at the farmers market, on the barbie right there in the store. The books are now beautifully smoked!

And the lovely farming folk of the district turned out to support us, share a few glasses of 12,000 Miles wine from Gladstone and bought heaps of copies of our book. Our sponsors, Turners and Growers will no doubt see a rise in vegetable consumption.

We went on to Greytown and can highly recommend Apartment 88 above the Main Street Deli for accommodation, and we loved catching up with Travis at Bar Salute and joining his organic/biodynamic dinner, one of the Wellington on a Plate events. The wines were extraordinary; all from Urlar vineyard. (More on those later)

Now off to this week's final stop, Bookfeast in Petone and the City Market in Wellington where we be cooking up a taste of the book.
