Fresh from Akaroa features over 100 delicious new recipes all well tested in the cooking school. Start on some simple courgette and feta fritters or little bacon and egg tarts. Then gorge yourself on some sticky twice-cooked Asian pork ribs and a decadent dark chocolate mousse cake with raspberry coulis, vanilla mascarpone and pistachio crumb.
The book has great tips on hosting dinner parties and shares the knowledge of how a restaurant kitchen operates before service that allows them to serve up a multitude of dishes in a short time that can be incorporated into your home cooking. Learn how to prepare and cook fresh fish as well as how to pull off the ultimate barbeque. Asian-inspired cooking and tips on canapés and cocktails as well as advice about essential ingredients are also featured.
There are dishes to tempt everyone, beautiful Akaroa harbour and village scenes plus the wisdom of two creative cooks who have produced a book of mouthwatering recipes with stunning photography from one of New Zealand’s most experienced food photographers Alan Gillard.
Lou and Ant Bentley established the Akaroa Cooking School in 2009, after years of balancing corporate lives with their passion for food, and squeezing in training at the Chiang Mai Cookery School and the New Zealand School of Food and Wine. They live with their two children one bay around from Akaroa, and grow all their own herbs, salad greens and veggies for the school.
