Simon asks: There is a lot of food mentioned on the show with varying appreciation – probably enough for a cookbook. Cheryl’s famous fish pie, I know, is already published in the West Family Album, but there is also Kelsie’s Eggplant Thing anh her Spicey Chicken Thing; Van and Munta’s Seafood medly (paua and “pipis” – Munta does the cooking and Van does the drinking or something I guess); Pascalles fish pie; Munta’s Mum’s Afghans (which would need to be um sanitised; Wolf’s muffins; Ray Judd’s multi-kai hangi, and so on. It would probably be possible to create a special westie-style dish appropriate for each of the characters. I’m collecting recipes for my own amusement but cannot really use the show to tell people about them. Um – there is supposed to be a question … um: is there likely to be an official cookbook of the show?
Hi Simon,
A great question – but at this stage it’s not something we’re working on. The recipes for Munter’s cookies, the eggplant thing and Rochelle’s party dip are also in the official book (along with the fish pie recipe).
If this was to happen, our writers would be the ones having to generate the content (or make up the recipes!) and unfortunately we don’t currently have the time/resources for such a project.
Thanks for your support!
