The Tropical Garden cookbook Formerly "The Flame Tree Cookbook" by Sue Carruthers

Signed for ex-owner Pacific recipes from the South Pacific

In this stunning collection of recipes with a tropical flavour, Sue Carruthers redefines the traditional concept of Pacific Cuisine. Here the familiar flavours of the Islands are supplemented by those brought by different immigrant groups, principally from South East Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The result is a range of recipes, from simple barbeque-style fare to impressive special-occasion dishes, of delightful originality and flair. With their emphasis on fresh ingredients, most of them readily available in New Zealand, they range from soups, appetisers and meat-based and vegetarian main meals, to tropical desserts and baking, frequently accompanied by suggestions for variations and side dishes, Whether you like your food hot and spicy or cool and subtle, The Flame Tree Cookbook is both an enticing introduction to tropical cookery and a superb source of inspiration for those looking for fresh horizons.

Sue Carruthers was born and educated in Kenya. She has travelled widely throughout Asia and the Pacific and has owned or run restaurants in Africa, Australia and the Bahamas. She is the author (with Rowan Bishop) of The Begetarian Adventure Cook Book. Sue Carruthers now lives in Rarotonga, where she runs the highly acclaimed Flame Tree Restaurant, the style of which is reflected in this book.
