Laura Vincent (Ngāti Māhanga, Ngāpuhi) is a triple threat. A woman with a fierce intellect and an even fiercer imagination, who just happens to be a knockout cook.
Funny and thoughtful, we would love sampling her wares for her food blog, hungryandfrozen.com, every night if it weren’t for pesky, tiny Auckland apartments!
Our pals at Āporo Press have recently launched her debut novel, Hoods Landing, and it reads like a dream. With a cast of lovable characters, it’s a big sweeping family saga, which we’ve already stuffed in our beach bags. Read it before they make it into a TV series.
Finally, did we mention she’s a fan of Nigella and her mi-cro-wa-vay? We're thrilled to be sharing her Friends of Lamplight reckons all week!
