:her great reads Her GREAT READS Here's a quick look at some of our top picks for reads this month: After Toast Kate Gibbs Allen & Unwin, $36.99 A lot of good things start out with a piece of toast; breakfast, for one. But toast is also the entre into the kitchen for many of us. It's the dish we first learn not to burn, or what we make when there is nobody around to cook for us. It's a reliable culinary introduction. But what comes next? After Toast takes aspiring cooks into the kitchen fray. Kate Gibbs, whose grandmother Margaret Fulton had her making pizza from scratch before she could see over the kitchen bench, shows young adults what to eat and how to cook. Distilling culinary advice from her own upbringing, Kate offers must-know tricks for the new-to-cooking, modernises classics and inspires an interest in healthy cooking. Basically, this is a guide to real, totally awesome, food. Recipes for crunchy, fried Mozzarella-stuffed croquettes, French roast chicken, mini Cheeseburgers and proper salads meet ideas for sprawling weekend feasts. This book raises the bar for the packed lunch, serves up new ideas on snacks, shows teens and twenty-somethings what to cook for mates or Mum, and puts an end to endless fridge searches by answering the perpetual question, ���What can I eat?��� Ruth Pretty Cooks at Home Ruth Pretty Penguin Group NZ, $65 From her signature Roast Chicken, Herb Stuffing and Bacon Sandwiches to her deliciously rich Blackcurrant and White Chocolate Cr��me Br��l��e, Ruth Pretty certainly knows how to put on a good spread, In this book, Ruth shares stylish cooking ideas, entertaining secrets and more than 200 delectable recipes that will impress and delight your loved ones.

When Natalia Schamroth and Carl Koppenhagen opened The Engine Room on Auckland's charming Northcote Point over seven years ago, foodies made a beeline. After all, the pair who'd worked together in their early chef careers at the storied Metropole in Parnell, and then at the famous Reuben cafe in the Auckland Art Gallery, were renowned for innovative food, packed with flavour. Not only that, for many years Natalia had also been one of Cuisine magazine's most popular food writers. The buzz around The Engine Room has never died, and it's easy to see why every year it wins awards in the coveted Metro Restaurant of the Year awards (each year for seven years it's been judged Metro's best neighbourhood bistro): the food is fabulous, the wine list superb, the service snappy and the entire experience exemplary. Simply put, it's some of this country's best food. Fans have wanted an Engine Room cookbook for years, and now their wishes have finally been answered. With 100 of The Engine Room's best dishes, plus recipes for the meals that Carl cooks for staff dinners, this superb book, which features a unique 'day in the life of a restaurant' section, will delight and inspire. The Foodtruck Cookbook Michael Van de Elzen Random House New Zealand, $39.99 Series One of The Foodtruck was one of the ratings hits of the year on TV One when it screened in mid 2011.

The absolutely fantastic recipes cover all the meals-onthe-run that New Zealanders love, from burgers and pies, to chicken pieces and pizza.

How does he do it? By replacing the fatty, sugary ingredients with healthy alternatives - without sacrificing taste. This is fast food that you can make at home at less cost and with no health worries.
