The good rub

It doesn’t take much to take flavours up a notch and to bring variety to the summer grill. With a nod to the clean and uncluttered cooking style the Tuscans favour when it comes to grilling, barbecued meats and fish can taste pretty good with little other than salt, pepper and olive oil, though even […]

Mmm. This tastes as good as it looks.

Rainy Day Pasta

Ilaria’s got it sorted: Soften tomatoes in garlicky oil, squish down, and there’s your sauce!

Plum Crumble

A proper pudd, but one you can whip up on the fly.

Big Chips

A picture tells a thousand stories, or just one in this case: eat me.

White Peach Salad with Barbecued Chicken Thighs

White peaches, chilli and lime … sounds pretty good to me.

Couscous with Crispy Onion

You’ve found it! The tastiest couscous salad ever.

Read more

Pomegranates

It could be that pomegranates were the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. They’re nothing much to look at on the outside but the clusters of ruby-red jewel-like seeds inside could have seduced even the staunchest of hearts.

Rocky Bay Salad Niçoise

Nice one!

Read more

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.

Grilled Eggplant & Feta Rolls

Oh yeah, squish on bread by all means.

How to char-grill eggplant

Cut eggplants (aubergines) lengthways into long thin slices. Heat a ridged grill pan or sturdy frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush eggplant slices with olive oil (you will probably need to do this in batches, so just brush as many as will fit in the pan without overlapping). Cook on both sides until a good […]

Brunch or lunch? Your place or mine?

Quick tricks for summer dishes

It’s so hot here on Waiheke you might melt if you stay in the sun too long. You need a beach. Preferably at your back door. Or a pool to hop into. When I was a kid, a squirt with a hose did the trick. If you are in New Zealand, or Australia or another […]

Ilaria’s back

It’s hard to believe that February is already upon us. Seriously, how did that happen? Mum’s delicious Christmas dinner, the escape up north to the top of Mount Manaia, a house move … all seem like they happened yesterday. Well they didn’t. Time ticking is as simple as that (it ticks!) so for us ‘Southern […]

Roasted Pepper & Chickpea Dip

Ilaria’s got it just right: A sprinkle of mint, a dusting of sumac … smells like summer.

Summer Salad

Brightly coloured jellied seeds of tomatoes twinkling like jewels, wafts of basil as if you have just crushed a meadow of carnations underfoot … and the bright fresh note of lemon rising to fill the nostrils … Add some gorgeous avocado to the mix and you have the essence of summer. You can make a […]

Eggs ‘n Avo

Eggs and avocados, an unlikely combination, and for breakfast? Whaaa? (That’s hands in the air screaming whaaaaattt?) It really didn’t ring my bell until I tried it, but now I am hooked. I’ve made a few adjustments, as you do. I can’t eat it for breakfast, as it is too rich, too filling, just too […]

Chicken Thighs with Thyme

You can water the garden while this is cooking or fix a nice drink and do a crossword puzzle. It’s easy living, mid-week munching, not a cooking competition.

Read more

Zucchini & Mint Salad

What to do with zucchini? Fry it, add garlic, splash it with sherry vinegar … you get the idea.
