Chef Al Brown's life long love of fishing has already been evidenced in a book and several television series celebrating New Zealand food.
But now he's turned his attention to novice fishers in a new book for children and adults alike. "Hooked - Learning to Fish," covers the details of fishing be it from the wharf, a kayak or fly fishing.
Big on safety, it also details intricacies from knots to hook selection and as you would expected from a leading chef and restauranteur, it includes a few recipes as well.
Brown believes that along with providing families with kai, fishing is great for mental health, be it time by oneself or with friends.
He joins Kathryn to talk about the book and his love of spending time on or alongside the water.
