Everyone has a food story - the recipes and ingredients they've grown up with and grown used to. In That Green Olive, recipe creator and local foodie Olivia Moore shares her story, and shares how to find joy in the kitchen by mixing things up a little.

Drawing inspiration from kiwi classics, our best-loved restaurants and Olivia's lakeside hometown itself - with recipes for venison sausages and candied trout - That Green Olive gives you the choice to be a little bit fancy, whether it's beer and gruyere scones or a tasty nduja moussaka.

These are cosy snacks, dinners and desserts designed to inspire and devour, whether you are cooking for yourself, your family or friends.
