A warm, welcoming feast of a book celebrating food and the power of sustaining friendship.
Two Gisborne schoolgirls go their separate ways after high school, meeting again many years later at a reunion, where their friendship is renewed through a shared love of gardening, as they begin writing to each other with humour, compassion and joy.
In their first book,
Common Ground
, Janice Marriott and Virginia Pawsey wrote about their very different gardens and lives.
In this, their eagerly awaited second book, their wonderful, wise, witty and utterly human letters trace a seasonal journey through their very different kitchens - one in a small inner-city cottage, the other a rambling country kitchen on a busy working hill country farm.

While Fionna will be the first to tell you she's not actually a Granny in the biological sense, she is most definitely a wise woman of the world who meets all the criteria for anyone's favourite Gran.
When she decided to improve her health and grow her own food she had to find somewhere to grow it. Living in urban Auckland severely limited her options. While she could manage window boxes of micro-greens, she yearned for more space - and was utterly delighted to eventually find herself with a plot in the Grey Lynn Community Garden.
Written from her experiences over the course of a year (give or take a few weeks) she documents the sheer delight and pleasure of exploring urban gardening as a beginner in a communal environment. The experience has brought her immense joy and some wild and wonderful moments of unexpected humour. In a breathtakingly honest, direct and fabulously original and delightfully wacky way, she takes the ...

Gardening Women: Their Stories 1600 to the Present

Hardback

Catherine Horwood

From Flora, Roman goddess of plants, to today's gardeners at Kew, women have always gardened.
Women gardeners have grown vegetables for their kitchens and herbs for their medicine cupboards. They have been footnotes in the horticultural annals for specimens collected abroad. They taught young women about gardening twenty-five years before women's horticultural schools officially existed. And their influence on the style of our gardens, frequently unacknowledged, survives to the present day.
From these triumphs to the battles fought against male-dominated institutions, from the horticultural pioneers to the bringers of change in society's attitudes, this book is a celebration of the best of the species -- gardening women.

The cuisines of the South Pacific island nations are noted for their sensational use of coconut cream, fresh fruit and the most delicate fish. Away from the big resort hotels, skilled local cooks make the most delicious meals, whose range would surprise most tourists.
Two years ago, New Zealand-born chef Robert Oliver, who has had a stellar career in the United States restaurant industry, went back to Fiji, where he grew up, to rediscover the art of Pacific cooking. He travelled to Tonga, Niue, Tahiti, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands to track down the most skilled local cooks. Adapting their recipes for modern kitchens, this outstanding, landmark book brings together a treasury of South Pacific cooking, arranged country by country, with 90-plus recipes and photos that capture the essence of the Pacific.
And there's much more than just recipes. Along the way Robert pauses to tell fascinating stories from his encounters with ...
