I'm always a bit apprehensive when buying books from traditional chefs. Not because they don't have the talent or skills but because most are not writers - this lack of ability to convey a story or explain suitably is why I should care about their work.
However, Monica Galetti has been a media personality/chef for some time, so why not give her a go - I'm not disappointed!
The food is familiar yet different - even as Monica herself states that being Samoan and growing up in New Zealand, she (and her family) had to make food that felt at home but was cultivated from the local area - this transcends into her food as she has become an adult and what she cooks in her own home.
The book is a great read, with many recipes to try and enjoy, each with a straightforward method and attainable goal - no over the top - fancy - fru-fru chef-ing, but honest food that celebrates the history and the people that inspired them.
A must-read for all food fans.

This was one of my many christmas cookbooks! I am aware of Monica Galetti but haven't really seen her cook. This book was very good. What is rare for a cookbook is for most of the recipes to be "cookable", there weren't many recipes which I wouldn't make. She doesn't use a massive number of ingredients like Tom Kerridge does (was it 19 for just a beefburger?), and it seems to be simple food simply cooked, and edible!! I haven't cooked any of these recipes yet but have earmarked out several already to make, the chocolate hazelnut spread is one for a start along with spring onion tempura with soy and garlic dipping sauce. I think I'm going to enjoy this book!
Plus I have a signed copy as well!
