Book Description
Lucas Putnam and Marianne Elliott opened their Mexican restaurant, La Boca Loca in April 2011, with a clear goal: to bring the freshest flavours of Mexico to Wellington using fresh and locally available ingredients. Their customers loved the taste of their freshly prepared Mexican food and many wanted to learn to make it themselves at home, so this book makes it possible to recreate and share the taste of Lucas¿s childhood. While there are plenty of fabulous Mexican cookbooks already available, they are often published overseas and in New Zealand we don¿t have the same access to all the required ingredients. In La Boca Loca at Home, Lucas and Marianne have included a guide to the essentials of your Mexican pantry, and where you can source them in New Zealand. There is also a section on the basics of Mexican cooking so you¿ll soon feel confident handling chillies, preparing masa, pressing tortillas and making fresh and cooked salsas. Once you¿ve mastered these core skills there is no end to the variations you can create. La Boca Loca at Home includes a collection of the most popular dishes from their restaurant menu over the past four years, along with some of their personal favourites. You¿ll be amazed how easy it can be to make delicious, fresh Mexican food and inspired to create your own dishes, using the flavours you¿ve enjoyed at La Boca Loca at home.

Kai and Culture

Book Description
Food tells a story. It contains the expression of a place and the way the land, people, ideas from elsewhere and webs of activities intersect. It is a great connector - we all share in the experience of food, albeit in very different ways. Freerange - in collaboration with writers, chefs, producers and others in the food industry - is excited to be publishing Kai and culture, a book that takes a look at how our food impacts our culture (and vice versa) and the people involved in creating local food identities, and that explores some of the larger contemporary issues that gather around it. A cultural cook book, if you will. So what is New Zealand food culture and what is particular to it? A contemporary New Zealand food identity is emerging - one that helps us to understand our place as a Pacific and multicultural nation, celebrates our ingredients and alters ideas from elsewhere to articulate this time and place. Food involves simple physical processes; it can promote engagement; its social and environmental impacts can be powerful - especially in a country where food is a major economic driver. Through essays, profiles and recipes, Kai and culture canvasses a range of views and stories from local food cultures: food resilience and resourcefulness; questions of access, security and sustainability; how creativity, innovation and appropriation can play out in food; food sovereignty and the desire to reconnect with where it comes from; land use; quality as opposed to commodity; waste minimisation; proximity to source and ideas of terroir; how we get our food information. And how these are all interconnected.
