First Catch Your Weka - David Veart
Auckland University Press, ISBN 978-1-86940-410-9, $49.99 pbk
‘First catch your weka,’ Heaphy advised, ‘stuff it with sage and onion and roast on a stick’. Thus began a great tradition of New Zealand cooking – from Heaphy to the Edmonds Cookery Book, Alison Holst to Allyson Gofton, on to the meal on your plate today. First Catch Your Weka tells the story of what New Zealanders cooked through the recipes we used, illuminating our cuisine and our culture.
