Harbour Kitchens: celebrating Lyttelton, its food and people

Harbour Kitchens is a cook book - and more. Incorporating recipes, anecdotes, kids’ art and gorgeous colour photography – it is a portrait of the vibrant and diverse community that is Lyttelton.

Over 150 recipes were collected from local residents: including parents, business people, artists, writers, and prominent chefs. Softbound and printed in colour throughout, the book is divided into four seasonal themes.

Local photographers Dean MacKenzie, Jason Larraman, Frank Visser and Maree Henry have contributed images which capture the spirit of this unique town.

Harbour Kitchens aims to raise funds for the town's two primary schools – Lyttelton Main and Lyttelton West. This book is a snapshot of a place, its food, and the people who make it special.

"...as far as community/school fund-raising cook books go this is one of the finest I have ever seen"

Graham Beattie, Montana Book Award judge.
