Debut cookbook by Olivia Moore, 21 year old food photographer and recipe creator from Taupo, New Zealand.
Olivia is an absolute gem. A talented, young creator from Taupo, who has an eye for and a taste for delicious recipes. Whether shooting incredible shots for cafes, eateries, restaurants & more, selling her original slices at The Cosy Corner, or demonstrating her creative recipes in-store here at Chef’s Complements (she was actually a winner in our cupcake decorating competition in 2009!), Olivia is a local icon in the food scene. We can’t wait to create some of her recipes!
“I literally want to eat everything I see in this book” – Naomi Toilalo, author of WhanauKai
“My first cookbook is here! It is the result of love, hard work and wild creative inspiration over many months; full of bold and innovative recipes, rooted in homeland. It belongs in the kitchen, on the coffee table and in your hands; for its recipes and photographs to be enjoyed.
With recipes such as Venison & Za’atar Scotch Eggs with Pickled Beetroot; Shakshuka with Kasundi Spices, Medjool Dates & Feta; Prawn & ‘Nduja Pie with Lemon Souffle Topping; Pandan Burnt Basque Cheesecake with Coffee Coconut Sauce; Kumara Ginger Kisses and many more, I hope to inspire a new excitement and passion for home cooking.” – Olivia Moore
Kiwi classics and more with a decadent twist, to cook for yourself or for friends.
Everyone has a food story — the recipes and ingredients they’ve grown up with and grown used to. In That Green Olive, recipe creator and local foodie Olivia Moore shares her story, and shares how to find joy in the kitchen by mixing things up a little.
Drawing inspiration from Kiwi classics, our best-loved restaurants and Olivia’s lakeside hometown itself, That Green Olive gives you the choice to be a little bit fancy, whether it’s beer and Gruyère scones or a tasty ‘Nduja prawn pie.
These are cosy snacks, dinners and desserts designed to inspire and devour, whether you are cooking for yourself, your family or friends.
