Maranui and Heidi Meet

This is what I saw all week, originally uploaded by hadleyfierlinger.

Many of you already know Heidi and some of you remember me telling you about my vegetarian food writer friend that came to visit us from San Francisco last December. One of the highlights of their trip to Wellington was a visit to Maranui Surf Club on a rare "fine" day. I remember Heidi took about 180 photos of the chick pea salad she ordered. I have been waiting since that day for her to come up with a recipe of those amazing salads. Lucky for me (and you!) I found her post just today. Also, Heidi's new cookbook has hit the stands and it really looks amazing. I can't wait to get my signed copy (cough cough).
