Global Kitchen is not just a cookbook, it is a celebration of New Zealand’s multicultural cuisine. Global Kitchen is a collection of the most popular dishes at each of the restaurants and presents an opportunity to learn about the artistic talent behind each recipe. The head chefs share their personal journeys, culinary passions and the recipes that make their restaurants so special.
From Curried Cauliflower Steaks or Crispy Soft-Shell Crab with Basil and Wasabi Mayo to Mechoui Smoked Lamb with Apricot Chutney, Tempura Aubergine with Sichuan Caramel finishing with Dark Chocolate Mousse with Salted Caramel Ice Cream all these tantalising dishes are captured by international photographer Grant Rooney.
Featuring a wide range of recipes that are easy to make, using locally sourced ingredients, Global Kitchen acknowledges the diversity of New Zealand and features delicious cuisine to suit every palate.
It’s a cookbook with a personal story, tracing the background of charismatic British entrepreneur Lloyd Rooney and his partner Mike Fraser, who have now just opened there 7th restaurant together in NZ.
Together they have the Cove in Waipu, an iconic cafe that made the top 100 eateries in NZ - The Quay in Whangarei, The Dune in Mangawhai and now Number 8 and Loco Bar in Whangarei.
