YOU WILL WANT TO OWN THIS

As President of the NZ Guild of Food Writers, I get to do interesting work and meet many lovely people. So it was in the true spirit of generosity that I agreed to edit 'Comfort; Food for Sharing' a gorgeous book which is due on sale next week on November 5.

The nicest thing any one can do is cook for someone who needs help and support in difficult times. The recipes in “Comfort’, whether they are baked goodies, simple soups or fabulous family feasts, have been specially chosen so that they can be prepared ahead, are easily transportable and are totally delicious. And with some of the country’s most well loved food writers contributing their best recipes, this is a book every household will want to cook from every night.

“Comfort” is about generosity. The generosity of the food writers who shared their favourite recipes, the photographer and food stylists who created the stunning photos, the kindly donation of the ingredients for the recipes, and most importantly the lovely food that can be cooked and carried to friends and family in need of help and support. The NZ Guild of Food Writers is proud to have supported the Starship Foundation in this wonderful project. And I can guarantee every recipe will be truly appreciated.

Please look for it, ask for it and make sure you buy at least a couple of copies.
