You could liken this to a Bloody Mary, a hangover cure, but it is fab on a really hot day, no hangover required!

Sweet Corn with Lime & Tarragon Mayo
Rich, yes. Gorgeous, YES! Sweet corn caramelised on a barbecue then slathered with tarragon butter & mayo, and dusted with parmesan, cumin & smoked paprika, served with lime wedges, is a winner!
Holy Guacamole with Extras
Truly Holy Guacamole! A good chunky guac topped with hot-smoked salmon, preserved lemons and lime leaf fluff. Far out!
Watermelon & Feta with Lemon-infused Oil
This is always a crowd pleaser. Ramp it up a notch with lemon oil, green chilli and spiced rockmelon seeds!
Watermelon
Chilled, juicy and sweet, watermelon is the quintessential summer snack.
Beer Fest in Christchurch
We rocked the The Great Kiwi Beer Festival with beer cocktails and spicy food.
Chicken Soup with Noodles, Coriander & Lime
Snip, snip, snip those noodles (don’t get caught!). Long noodles, long life.. but who cares ’cause short noodles are easier to eat!
Bananarama in Rocky Bay!
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes …
Baked Eggplant with Spices & Preserved Lemon
Bake a batch of these bad boys, grab some olives, good bread, tomatoes – that kind of thing – and have an easy summer feast!
Mini Onion Jam Tartlets
Scrumptious little mouthfuls … just the thing to serve with drinks.
Radish & Cucumber Salad
What to serve with this fresh and crunchy salad? I’d go for fish, steamed, barbecued, fried, baked, any which way you like.
Hoppin’ Hot
We will be setting lips smacking this weekend as we tinker with fire and spice at The Great Kiwi Beer Festival.
No need to get the beers in … go out for them!
Come watch our gig Saturday 27th January at The Great Kiwi Beer Festival
Beef & Pickle Burgers
Homemade burgers made from scratch, (by that I mean making your own mince) are sensational.
Baked Peppers with Feta
Here’s a quickie for midweek. Team these peppers with a grain salad and leafy greens for a healthy meal.
The Drunken Nanny
Goat cheese worth celebrating: The Drunken Nanny produces a sensational range. This little beauty travelled from Wairarapa to Waiheke.
Summer Traybake
Good old tray bake – you’ll be my friend again in 2018.
New season garlic is here. Get chomping!
All your medicine in a pearly white clove: antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, anti-fungal, antioxidant = GARLIC.
Fresh Tuna Salad
This is loosely modelled on a typical salad you might find around Nice … but there’s a bit of a leap of faith here.
