The much-loved Kiwi duo of Hudson and Halls are being remembered once more, with a new book capturing their lives and love stories.
Peter Hudson and David Halls were New Zealand's first celebrity chefs, as well as lovers, with author Joanne Drayton penning The Food of Love as a tribute to the iconic duo.
"I just wanted to tell that story," Ms Drayton said told Seven Sharp.
"I love biography, telling difficult stories that make us move on in our world.
"If we didn't collect it and put in a book, then it would be lost."
However, not everyone was as eager to share Hudson and Halls' story.
"I was told by a number of publishers, that they were dead. I mean I knew that, but they meant dead in people's memories. I thought - that can't be.
"This is a story that needs to be told."
And told it was, with with the duo's recipes, love story and secrets immortalised in pages for future generations.
