Rowan Bishop has been a food writer for over thirty years and has just released a new edition of one of her most popular books.

She's based in Wanaka and written six books, all with a strong emphasis on vegetarian food.

Her latest book Relish is twice as big as her previous one and includes recipes for chutneys, relishes and pickles from all around the globe.

There's everything from kumara chutney and eggplant kasundi pickle to burnt orange and bourbon marmalade. She joins Kathryn to talk about her favourites and why preserving produce and injecting it into mealtimes has made a comeback with such relish.
