I won’t starve on Waiheke. I’ll be able to have a tomato sandwich in about three weeks.

The Great Australian Cookbook
Take a bite out of Aussie’s best: lamb and lamingtons, prawns and pav, pancakes and pikelets; slow-cooked, twice-cooked, flash-fried, stir-fried and cooked over coals; breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and everything in between. Here’s a sample of tempting recipes from The Great Australian Cookbook.
Slashed Roast Leg of Lamb with Crash-Hot Potatoes
Would you look at that! I know what I will be having on my table this weekend.
Banana Tarte Tatin with Rum & Raisin Ice Cream
Hard to resist – puff pastry, sticky caramel bananas and rum and raisin ice cream – so why try? Just tuck in!
White Peach, Elderflower & Fromage Blanc
Adding a splash of elderflower cordial to white peaches makes them tantalisingly fragrant.
Chicken Roll-ups
Here’s a great weekday meal that doesn’t require lengthy prep, is quick to cook and tastes delicious.
Villa Maria wine tasting and degustation lunch
Food and wine or wine and food? It’s hard to choose the more impressive of the two served up at a wine tasting and degustation lunch at Villa Maria Winery on Monday. I went primed for action: hungry, thirsty, inquisitive, and with a cab booked to wing me back to the ferry …
Villa Maria forging ahead with organics
Villa Maria is unashamedly family oriented. When you dine with them, with their founder Sir George Fistonich and wife Lady Gail, with their winemakers and staff, you become part of the family, part of their story. That story started a long time ago, in 1961, when a young lad called George leased a few acres […]
Rocket
Dang! Cat on rocket not good for growth.
Spaghetti with Chorizo & Clams
Whoa – here’s an easy one. Spag with clams, spiked with chorizo. A great midweek meal. Fast & fabulous.
Ilaria’s London Flatting Eggs
Cook in the pan. Serve in the pan. Only one thing to wash. Mum – it could be good for you on Waiheke to save water!
The Heathrow Injection
My house. Too cute!!! Check out that bay window!
About the Wick
Walking to work helps offload some of the over-indulgence!
Doughnuts make me smile …
Doughnuts. Yum. Stuff ’em in …
Around Lea Canal
I can never go past the beautiful reflections of the coloured walls in Lea canal without pausing for a look.
Beetroot Salad with Labna
Pretty pretty pretty. Oh, and delicious!
Labna balls
It’s easy making your own labna balls – just strain yoghurt until thick, then flavour it with dukkah, spices, herbs or edible flower petals.
Asparagus
White & green asparagus in a puddle of browned butter with toasty crumbs and a poached egg on top … well, you can’t get much better than that for a fancy pants brunch or lunch.
Bruschetta with Asparagus & Prosciutto
Get those asparagus spears on the grill to add another taste sensation.
Asparagus & Mint Wraps
That smell of smoke, sizzling prosciutto, lemon and mint will get them running to your place. Make plenty!
World Vegetarian Day – YES! Scoff more vege!!!
Make that a triple serving … I’d be happy to! 1st October is World Vegetarian Day, not something that is ever going to slip under my radar because, in case you hadn’t noticed, we’re rather fond of vegetables at Shared Kitchen. In fact, we’re crazy about them. Beats me though, why potatoes continue to get […]
Following a recipe – why should you?
What about those annoying little points that you side-step, or blatantly ignore? Will a recipe still hang together?
Why throw bay leaves in the water when cooking broccoli?
It’s either that, or open the windows!
