In February, we brought you a story about Hamilton News business columnist Latesha Randall and her partner Seb Walter launching Raglan Coconut Yoghurt.
Since then, the homegrown business has gone from strength to strength, and the yoghurt is now stocked around the country.
However, when the couple ran into difficulty
getting a bank to loan them money for their own commercial kitchen, they decided to come up with a creative way to make the kitchen happen.
"We wanted to make something both beautiful and useful that people would love, and this is it. Thanks to some generous foodies sharing their cooking genius with us, we have been able to put together The Coconut Cookbook as a fundraiser for building our own yoghurt kitchen here in Raglan," said Latesha.
"Originally we had hoped to print the book, but from talking to publishers, 'four weeks please' is not a realistic turnaround (it's more like a year!). So the e-book is our version 1.0 and if people love it, there may be a full-length published cookbook next year.
