About Me

In 2006 singer-songwriter Flip Grater went on an epic tour of New Zealand to promote her debut album Cage For A Song.
Travelling the length and breadth of the country in her trusty 1988 Lada station wagon, she sang for her supper in small towns and big cities, blagging accommodation, food and – most importantly – recipes along the way.
With a cast of unusual characters, this book is the ultimate cookbook-slash-tour diary, and a snapshot of Kiwi subculture punctuated by 47 delicious recipes.
