My Garden Kitchen - Recipes from the Forest Cantina

Author(s): Unna Burch

Whole Food Cookery | New Zealand | General Cookery

Talented self-taught cook, stylist and photographer of the delicious food she produces in her Forest Cantina kitchen, Unna Burch knows all about the visual appeal of food. There's a photograph of every recipe and Unna invites the reader to join her family and friends as they delight in sharing dishes prepared from her urban kitchen in the woods. With a hundred recipes to suit any homemaker, there are dishes for brunch, with homemade breads, dinner, and loads of side options, preserves, drinks and sweet treats. Unna draws on the many food influences found in her family, harvesting natural honey products from her beehives, eggs from 13 heritage chickens and home-grown vegetables to produce delicate Asian dishes, Indian curries, Mexican street food and Mediterranean-inspired salads and pasta dishes. A digital devotee, Unna blogs through her website, and manages social media on Facebook and Instagram. She participated in a 'behind the scenes' video to promote this, her first book.
