WHITE + WONG’S

AL SPARY & RUSSELL GRAY, NEW HOLLAND, H/B, $49.95

Listed in our top 100 restaurants in the Cuisine Good Food Guide 2018, White & Wong’s in Auckland has had over half a million people dine within its iconic waterfront space in the heart of the Viaduct Basin. We never thought they would give away their precious recipes, but here they are all bound up in a terrific book that showcases everything you will need to create your own Asian food masterpieces including their delicious bites selection, dumplings, soups, barbecue, curries and their ever impressive sides, salads, vege dishes and sauces. Chefs Stuart Rogan and Ashish Bhat were the masterminds behind many of the recipes in this stellar cookbook and congratulations must also go to Good Group Hospitality chairman Al Spary and CEO Russell Gray; their passion and enthusiasm for the restaurant and bar scene has made them a leading player in the New Zealand hospitality industry.
