Fresh from Akaroa brings you recipes and tips from the highly popular Akaroa Cooking School, along with the stunning scenery of Banks Peninsula.

Beautiful harbour and town vistas, combined with the wisdom of two creative cooks, produce a book filled with recipes, information, and stunning photography.

With over 100 delicious recipes used in the cooking school, the book includes tips on hosting dinner parties, buying and cooking fish, mastering the perfect barbecue, creating canapΓ©s and cocktails, and exploring Asian-inspired cuisine. This is a book packed full of useful and beautiful material.

The recipes range from simple delights like courgette and feta fritters and little bacon and egg tarts, to more elaborate dishes such as sticky twice-cooked Asian pork ribs and a decadent dark chocolate mousse cake with raspberry coulis, vanilla mascarpone, and pistachio crumb. There are dishes to tempt every palate.

About the Author

Lou and Ant Bentley established the Akaroa Cooking School in 2009, after years of balancing corporate lives with their passion for food and squeezing in training at Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School and the New Zealand School of Food and Wine. They wanted to teach people how to get back to basics - growing their own food where possible, but certainly knowing where it comes from and how best to prepare and cook it - while still having fun! They live with their two children one bay around from Akaroa, and grow all their own herbs, salad greens and veges for the school. "The morning before each class we always head outside with the baskets and load up on whatever is fresh and ripe at the time. Even in the depths of winter we can still harvest beetroot, parsnips, carrots and lemons, and there is never a shortage of walnuts. The garden also supplies us with fresh flowers and foliage throughout the year to brighten up the cooking school."
