Author Description

"Well-loved New Zealand entertainers, Dames Lynda and Jools Topp go on a culinary journey around New Zealand meeting passionate food producers, home cooks and lovers of life. Based on the first two series of their award-winning TV series, the Topp Twins bring us tales from the countryside through the universal pleasure of food and love. Their deep love for the land and its people is interwoven with inspiring stories, poems and 75 recipes including closely guarded family secrets. The Twins' diverse appeal is reflected in the people they meet: from free-ranging pig farmers in the deep rural south to urban taco-trucking hipsters. As they travel around New Zealand they discover a land full of top tucker and great yarns. The Twins' comedy characters, Camp Mother and Camp Leader, present Saucy Tips, while the Bowling Ladies share recipes and tips for their retro but ever-popular Tasty Treats. Rural Blokes, the Kens, have penned poems celebrating the country lifestyle and what it means to be a Kiwi, in love with our land and its bounty".--Provided by publisher.
