The Best of Alison Holst

Over the years The Best of Alison Holst has sold more than 100,000 copies over eight print runs. In the span in which it has been out of print, the publishers and author have had constant requests for the book, and so it is re-issued now as a result of overwhelming public demand. The 'Big Red Book', as it has fondly been known on account of its cover, is a must-have collection of delicious, easy and affordable starters, mains, sides, salads, sauces, desserts, breads and drinks from the trusted hand of New Zealand's favourite cook. A feature of the book is that each recipe is clearly coded to show its cooking method. Alison Holst points out that as there is no overlap between this and her Ultimate Collection, those lucky enough to own both books have access to a lifetime of her cooking.
