Auckland Eats: Recipes and voices from a vibrant food city is the first title in a series published by Lazy Susan, and is a collection of over 40 beloved recipes from eateries and bars across the city, as well as stories told by personalities from the hospitality industry.

Lazy Susan celebrates the many and varied tastes that make up Auckland city, and they think Auckland’s food culture deserves to be captured in a book.

There are recipes of Auckland’s fa­vourite dishes, and the stories behind them… think Eden Noodles’ Pork Dumplings, Satya Chai Lounge’s Chicken 65, Cassia’s Goan Lamb Chops with Spice Creme Fraiche and Apero’s Roasted Cauliflower. Beautifully photographed to capture the vibe from the folks who lend their talent and personalities to the pot. We think it’s a wonderful time more than ever, to cherish the things that make us a community – and food brings people together in the best way. We see that happen in the Lazy Susan facebook group every day.

You’ll want a copy of this book to pore over, to cook from, and to remind you of the delicious meals out you’ve enjoyed, and to inspire you to enjoy many more in the future.
