How to Visit New Zealand!
Oct 31, 2010 | From the kitchen of Rose
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.

I was contemplating a trip to Hawai'i, but after reading your email newsletter about this culinary trip around NZ, I am tempted to go there instead! It is a bit pricey though, for a trip to a country that is right next to where I reside (about the same cost for me to travel from Australia to Hawaii, including accommodation, inter-island transfers, tours, and food!).
Is anyone else considering going?

Nov. 7th is my son's birthday and I have just pulled out "Cake Bible" & "Heavenly Cakes" to accomplish the baking tasks ahead... My husband has celiac disease and I have managed to convert a bunch of the recipes to ones he can eat and love. My son wants 3 or 4 flavors of cake, so needless to say, your books are a lifesaver! Happy Birthday to your blog and thank you for taking the time to produce such wonderful books.
As for New Zealand, we are moving there in a month or so... So I will look forward to experiencing some of the delights that you have mentioned.
have fun!

Oh my goodness! I leave for New Zealand on Friday and I'm so excited. It's too bad I didn't know about this before, but still it's given me something to think about. I'll be visiting some of the same cities. Thanks for the heads up Rose!
All the best,
Dana
