This book will draw you in again and again with its beautiful photos, inspiring words and absolutely fabulous recipes. It is sitting on my coffee table and I can't help but pick it up each time I sit down.
Alexandra Tylee, the owner and chef of Pipi Cafe in Hawke's
Bay, is a self-taught cook and her philosophy is family, fun, good and simple food, and love.
Every recipe in this book, says Tylee, has two "musts".
The food must be simple and it must nurture the soul, not just the body.
The food is simple in that you can open this book at any recipe and feel confident cooking it. But it is far from simple when it comes to the look and taste of it. This food will impress any dinner guest.
