"First catch your Weka”, Charles Heaphy advised in 1842, then stuff it with sage and onion and roast it on a stick. In that simple way began a great tradition of New Zealand cooking. In this book, David Veart tells the story of what New Zealanders cooked. Analysing the crusty deposits and grubby thumb prints on a century and a half of cook books, Veart chronicles the extraordinary foods that New Zealanders have loved.
