Autobiography of pioneering New Zealand food writer and home economist Tui Flower, the 195-page memoir covers her life and extensive career in food journalism.
It details her influential tenure as the Food Editor of the New Zealand Woman's Weekly from 1965 to 1984. During this time, she ran a strict test kitchen that essentially shaped how modern New Zealand families cooked.
Culinary Revolution: The book chronicles how she helped shift the country away from a basic "meat and three veggies" diet by introducing home cooks to international flavours, continental recipes, and modern electric kitchen appliances.
Personal Life: It traces her journey from her upbringing to becoming a recipient of the Queen's Service Medal (QSM) for her contributions to public service and the food industry.
