It seemed appropriate that such a spectacular book should be launched in spectacular style and that is exactly what happened last evening in Murray Thom's Parnell premises before an audience of 500 guests..
The book features 80 of NZ's finest chefs, cooks and bakers some 60 of whom were present at the launch.. The sumptuous 432 page hardback with 190 recipes is filled with the most stunning photography featuring the 80 recipe contributors on their home patch, all shot entirely on location.This is the cookbook of the year.
