"Fleur is the memoir of Fleur Sullivan's culinary adventures, tracing her journey from Oamaru to the pubs of the West Coast, and on to the sophisticated restaurant scene of 1970s Queenstown and the establishment in the 1980s of the legendary Olivers restaurant in Clyde, Central Otago. That was where her focus on local cuisine first came to national attention; since then she has moved on to the acclaimed Fleur's Place at Moeraki, and now to her latest venture combining nose-to-tail food and conviviality, generosity and warmth at the Loan & Merc in Oamaru's historic Whitestone district."--Back cover.
