Beautiful, honest and useful, Homecooked is the debut by an award-winning food writer that satisfies our hunger for seriously cookable New Zealand recipes.

In this book, Lucy Corry shares hundreds of original recipes, inspired ideas and wise ways to use our flavoursome produce on every occasion, every day, through every season of the year.

Like Lucy’s popular Kitchenmaid site and ‘Three Ways With’ column, Homecooked is brilliantly written, funny and trustworthy, with an emphasis on using (and using up!) real, fresh and accessible ingredients.

This is enticing, truly good food that reconnects us to home.
