More recently Peta has taken her one woman live show on the road - telling tall stories, ironing out the agonising problems of life, sautéing up a storm, singing of lost love and explaining how egg whites can transform your life. Peta has played to sell out audiences around New Zealand - and in March 2015 she performs her brand new show, 'A Woman's Recipe for Life' to audiences in the North Island.
