Check out these fab menus for Solstice Feasting – whichever season you are in, there’s something for you.

Mushroom Burgers – All vegetable burgers

You are going to love these – stacked with tasty and juicy ingredients. As soon as barbecue time comes around, cook the mushrooms and tomatoes on the hot plate (griddle) for even more flavour.

Fish Pies with Chorizo

Sliced chorizo gives this fish pie a hint of smoky complexity, while spinach and tomato give the filling a lively colour. The whipped cheesy potato tops it off – just lovely.

Rhubarb, Apple & Ginger Crumble

This has got to be good for you – rhubarb, apples, ginger, whole oats, almonds and coconut!

Ricotta-stuffed Chicken Breasts with Verjuice

Everyone in my family loves this moist and tasty chicken. And it looks glamorous, too, though it’s not that much work. Just be sure to buy chicken breasts with the skin still on.

Warm Carrot Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette

This is simple but delicious, and the thing to make when you see those bunches of small firm carrots come on sale. It goes with most things, including pork, chicken, veal, lamb, turkey and fish, or serve on top of lentils and top with feta or sizzled haloumi and slow-roasted tomatoes.

Crispy Broccoli & Potato Stacks

What a great way to eat broccoli. Cheap as chips all vege mid-week main course. Yeah!

And here's an idea: serve with a fried egg on top!

Garden to Plate Food Experience

Scrumptious food and delicious wines – come and cook with Julie Biuso on Waiheke Island!
These are special days at Waiheke’s most gorgeous location, Sacred Blessing Sanctuary Gardens, where we pick organically grown produce, cook, feast, imbibe and enjoy.
