(New Holland, $59.99)In keeping with a foodie theme, this volume includes 1000 recipes from that other iconic star of Kiwi cooking, Alison Holst. Back by popular demand after eight years in retirement, Alison describes this collection as the equivalent of the handwritten book her mother passed down to her and which she will pass on to her grandchildren. The book is actually dedicated to Alison’s kids and grandkids, as well as the family dog Rufus, “who has been such a loyal recipe taster over the years”!
