Banana leaves

Are they readily available here?I've never cooked with them before but am dying to try using some for a recipe.

Um - yes ... I pick them off my plants usually.

Well good for you Uli, but I don't have any in my garden.Anyone else who can help?

I guess there will be none in your neighbourhood - as it is too cold for bananas to grow there.
So your best bet would be an Asian wholesaler who might have frozen ones.

Hi Michelle, fresh banana leaves are readily available at our Saturday vegetable market but I have also seen them in our Asian grocery stores so you might like to try there.

Porirua versus Matamata? :)
