successful Zarbo Deli and Café. Together they have assembled this
collection of delicious recipes for the home chef – breads, entrées, mains,
desserts, cakes, cookies and pastries. Each recipe is crammed full of flavour
and colour from fabulous fresh ingredients, herbs and spices.
 Brettschneider

television series to screen on New Zealand's Food TV from October 3,
2010, also titled The Cook & The Baker, which
will take viewers behind the scenes of the making of the cookbook.
Dean and Mark share a vision and a passion not only for delicious food
prepared from top-quality ingredients, and for New Zealand's place in the
culinary world, but also for business and innovation - together they developed
the concept of the Global Baker micro bakery, a first
for New Zealand's café and deli industry, which opened inside Zarbo
in July 2009.
In this new collaboration, they create dishes that are tasty, and flavoursome,
enabling the reader to prepare food with punch, maximum flavour and eye-appeal
without the need for blood, sweat and tears. The Cook & The Baker will
inspire readers to get into the kitchen and start creating, with recipes
such as: Mini Wholewheat Irish Soda Bread Sandwiches with Smoked Salmon,
Onion Marmalade and Dill Mayonnaise; Italian Fish Stew; Beef Goulash; Plum
and Fennel Tarte Tatin; Sticky Stem-Ginger Cake with Lemon Icing.
The Cook & The Baker is fresh looking and easy to use, featuring
delectable recipes and beautiful photography - a perfect gift for any foodie.
