Food Central

Stories and recipes from the heart of Nelson

Nelson Central School Community Group

Nelson has a flourishing food culture, nurtured by the colourful and diverse range of people who live there, and the great abundance of local produce. Food Central is a wonderful celebration of this culture, combining a selection of Nelsonians’ most cherished recipes with local culinary stories. These stories include contemporary anecdotes and recipes from some of the city’s iconic restaurants and cafes, as well as snippets of history and stories from local identities.

Beautifully illustrated with evocative photographs of food, people and landscapes, Food Central is a stunning example of a regional cookbook, which goes right to the heart of what makes Nelson such a treasured place to live and visit, and which will be cherished by anyone with a connection to this charmed town.
