New Zealand food writer and chef, Paul Jobin, who is promoting the campaign, says he has been inspired by the obvious passion that Kiwis have for home cooking.
“You can sense the emotional attachment that goes along with so many of these recipes. They are clearly reminders of home and the good times around great home cooked food.”
Jobin encourages New Zealanders to visit the web site and to support those locally flavoured recipes from their particular region.
“If you’re looking for something new to make for dinner tonight, the site is a wonderful source of great recipes that work,” he says.
“What’s more there’s still time to enter your recipes, try out other people’s and get your friends and whanau to vote.”
