| Summary: | First Catch Your Weka illuminates the elements that make New Zealand cooking distinctive and how our cuisine and culture have changed (the development of a nationalist cuisine of kumara, whitebait, and mussels in the 1920s, the arrival of Asian influences in the 1950s, the television cooks of the 1970s). Throughout this history, Veart finds a people who, frequently first liked to Catch Their Weka - building a meal out of oysters taken from the rocks, vegetables from the garden, and a lamb from the neighbouring farm. By telling the history of what we ate, tells us a great deal about who we have been. |
