Culinary Corner: Annebel Langbein’s Simple Pleasures
Annabel Langbein, New Zealand’s Top Celebrity Chef released her new cook book, Simple Pleasures in October of last year. Simple Pleasures is the accompanying book to her TV Series which is debuted the same month across the country. Through her new book, we now have the opportunity to get to know one of New Zealand’s top Celebrity Chef’s whose style of cooking encompasses her passion of using fresh seasonal ingredients to create simple but delicious meals while bringing the beautiful New Zealand countryside to the states.
The recipes are dazzling in their simplicity, utilizing so many fresh ingredients they inspired me to update my culinary notebook and redesign my garden blueprint for summer and fall meals.
Stunning photos of the beautiful New Zealand countryside give us a deeper look into the ingredients and with the addition of Scannable QR codes on many recipes that, when scanned with a smart phone, another level is added taking us to an interactive video of Annabel creating the recipe or sharing her tips and techniques.
