Prawn, Pink Grapefruit & Watermelon Salad
Aussie prawns. Yeah. Best in the world, I reckon. Stick them on top of a juicy watermelon & lime salad and you’ll have your own little bit of magic right there on a plate.
Chilli Beef with Lime & Palm Sugar Dressing
Hot, cool, sweet, sour and crunchy – just the ticket for a balmy summer’s evening.
A Spooky Little Salad
Bursting with colour and crunch, what might seem like an odd combination – and there’s no denying that tangelos and sugar snaps don’t often cosy up to each other on the same plate – is actually sensational!
Deluxe Banana Splits
No guilt with this dessert – you are getting your daily fruit!
Spicy Lamb on Sticks with Yoghurt Sauce
Fire and smoke, spicy lamb …smells like summer!
Turmeric
Whoo-hoo. Yellow gold. An antiseptic, a gargle, a digestive aid, clears sinuses, too, and it’s a much-loved preservative in pickles and chutneys. Add some to your vege shakes for a health kick.
Lamb Cutlets with Char-grilled Red Peppers
Tender, tasty and succulent, cooked pink to the bone, New Zealand lamb’s the thing to grab for the barbecue during the summer months.

Viet Fish
In a way this is nothing more than a mound of salad dumped on top of fried fish – but what a salad!
White Peach & Nectarine Salsa
Fruity cutie with a kick!
Tomatoes with Pecorino
Will you look at that!
Kachumber
An exceptional mix – sweet, pungent, biting, refreshing, acidic … then sweet again.
Island Life – Marinated green beans
I’m such a wimp!
Supper in a pan
Nothing wrong with this for supper.
