Eat Wild giveaway

As summer arrives, so does the joy of good food, great company, and time outdoors. To help you make the most of it, we’re giving away Eat Wild by Sophie Merkens (RRP $55) and an Ironclad 28cm Olive Leaf Satin Enamel Legacy Pan (RRP $250).

In Eat Wild, writer and photographer Sophie Merkens takes readers on a journey across Aotearoa, from the coast to the bush to the mountains, uncovering the bounty of our wild landscapes. With a combination of gorgeous photography, thoughtful storytelling and delicious recipes, she shows readers how to find, prepare, and cook with some of New Zealand’s most widely known yet underutilised wild foods

And what better way to bring those recipes to life than in Ironclad’s heirloom-quality Legacy Pan? Made in New Zealand and designed to last for generations, this beautiful enamelled cast iron pan is naturally non-stick, oven safe, and built for everything from slow-roasted veges to seared snapper or freshly baked bread.

Together, they make the ultimate gift for food lovers, or a treat for yourself this summer.

To be in to win, simply enter your details in the form below before the 24th of November 2025.
