Eat Up New Zealand: The Bach Edition

Eat Up New Zealand: The Bach Edition by Al Brown is a relaxed, practical cookbook made for feeding a crowd when you’re away from home. Built around the rhythms of holidays by the coast, it’s packed with more than 150 recipes designed for easy, generous cooking in real-life kitchens—think limited gear, hungry people, and long afternoons that end around the table.

Inside, you’ll find dishes that suit casual entertaining and everyday holiday meals, with flavours that feel distinctly Kiwi and plenty of ideas for mixing and matching across breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. The focus is on food that travels well, scales up smoothly, and keeps everyone happily fed without fuss.

Perfect for fans of New Zealand cooking, bach and beach house weekends, family-friendly recipes, and laid-back shared plates.

Add it to your kitchen shelf for your next trip away, or keep it close for any night you want holiday-style food at home.
