How to Visit New Zealand!
I've long had a fantasy (as has many other food professionals) that some day Stephanie Hersh would be my associate/assistant as she was for Julia Child for many years. There is no one more organized, more considerate, and more enchanting than Stephanie.
Now Stephanie is living in New Zealand, and Woody, over the past 7 years has become my indispensable collaborator, but lucky you: Stephanie is now leading a culinary tour of New Zealand, scheduled for January 2011. If you've ever considered a visit, this would be the ideal way to jump start it!
Elliott and I spent two weeks, both on the North and South Island and it is the most amazing country. Did you know Lord of the Rings was filmed there? If you think the vistas of northern California are breath-taking, just wait until you see those of New Zealand. Staggeringly awesome.
