New Zealand Recipes






I found these FREE recipe cards at Countdown Supermarket. I love to collect recipes and recipe ideas when I'm visiting another country. Cooking and baking interesting recipes you discover abroad is a great way to share your travel experience with friends and family when you get back home. They also make a great (and cheap!) gift for foodie friends. My brother who is a chef loves the strange and different recipes that I send home.

Another great way to get your hands on some Kiwi recipes is simply to ask the locals! Especially if you get a chance to speak to chatwith a Kiwi granny who will likely have some tried and true classics to share! There are also lots of great books and magazines available full of both classic and modern New Zealand Recipes.

Here are just a few great books, magazines based on New Zealand Cooking:
