Paper Plus to launch Annabel Langbein’s latest cookbook at Books & Bubbles event
Paper Plus invites fabulous foodies and book lovers alike to join Annabel and media personality Kerre Woodham on Monday
10th September at the Aotea Centre for an evening that is sure to inspire and delight.
The evening will include an array of tastings straight from Annabel’s cookbook Annabel Langbein The Free Range Cook: Simple Pleasures, as well as a glass of bubbles, before guests sit back and enjoy an night of foodie-focused fun with Kerre and Annabel.
Paper Plus’ Marketing Manager, Lyle Hastings says that he’s enthused that Annabel has joined forces with Paper Plus, and
together they aim to educate New Zealanders on the joys of discovering simple, fresh foods.
“The launch event will be a chance for customers to get a real insight into Annabel’s simple pleasures in life, find out
what inspired the book and there will even be the opportunity to pick up a signed copy.”
“Paper Plus stores nationwide will be exclusively selling the cookbook between 8th and 22nd September, and we’re
thrilled to be doing so. Our customers are keen followers of Annabel’s books and of her journey as The Free Range Cook.
Due to this, we’re launching the cookbook with a big bang, and toasting life’s simple pleasures,” says Lyle.
Annabel Langbein explains, “One of my greatest pleasures is sharing ideas about how to create a good life, whether
that’s growing a small pot of herbs on the kitchen bench, or gathering family and friends for a Sunday night roast. It’s
these small moments that I cherish and I’ve aimed to share them with viewers and readers in my new TV series and
cookbook.
“I’m looking forward to working with Paper Plus to show New Zealanders what fun it is to create delicious meals using
fresh seasonal ingredients – one page at a time.”
Tickets are just $35 and those interested can purchase tickets at their local Paper Plus store.
