British-born restaurateur Lloyd Rooney went from owning a successful interior design business in London and a top Moroccan fusion restaurant, to purchasing a cattle farm in the Waikato. He then opened two popular Northland eateries, Whangerei's Quay restaurant and The Cove café in Waipu Cove.
He's collaborated with writer Lindy Davis on a new cookbook, The Quay to the Cove, and shares a recipe from it for Snapper with Citrus Risotto and Beetroot Lentil Salad
