Based on Series 1 and 2 of their award-winning TV series, TOPP COUNTRY (TV1), well-loved New Zealand entertainers, Dames Lynda and Jools Topp, go on a culinary journey around New Zealand meeting passionate food producers, home cooks and lovers of life.
The Topp Twins bring us tales from the countryside through the universal
pleasure of food and love, as they meet 60 ethical farmers and growers. Their
deep love for the land and its people is interwoven with inspiring stories,
poems and approximately 75 recipes, including closely guarded family
secrets.
The Twins’ diverse appeal is reflected in the people they meet : from
free-range pig farmers in the deep rural south to urban tacotrucking hipsters.
As they travel around New Zealand they discover a land full of top tucker and
great yarns.
The Twins’ comedy characters, Camp Mother and Camp Leader, present Saucy Tips, while the Bowling Ladies share recipes and tips for their retro but ever-popular Tasty Treats. Rural blokes, the Kens, have penned poems celebrating the country lifestyle and what it means to be a Kiwi, in love with our land and its bounty.
