Market Day: Tastes from New Zealand Farmers' Markets

New Holland, 2007. Crease to back cover.

With the supermarket chains offering increasingly bland produce, more and more people who care about what they eat and take pleasure in the good things in life are turning to the real alternative: the home-grown produce available from farmers' markets, from olives, fish, jams and preserves to organic meat, wine, lavender and more. This luxuriantly illustrated book introduces a selection of markets from across the country. It includes: an introduction to each region and its markets, text/photographic portraits of key growers, producers and regional specialties, dozens of delicious recipes - starters, mains and desserts - using specialty ingredients, a directory of accredited farmers' markets in New Zealand and a directory of lodgings and restaurants, selected on the strength of their commitment to using and serving good regional produce.
