An antique cookbook has been given new significance thanks to a Kerikeri cafe.
The cookbook, belonging to Bessie Kemp of the historic Kemp family, contains recipes dating back to 1909. It's on display at the Kerikeri Mission House (Kemp House), which is New Zealand's oldest building.
Honey House Cafe, locatedbehind Kemp House, has revived a number of Bessie's recipes as chef Neil Brazier has incorporated them into the menu.
"The results are delicious," says Kemp House manager Liz Bigwood.
The cafe has been offering coffee and treats made from recipes that have been sourced from historic archives since it opened late last year.
