Bang the Gong! 4th July. Ding Dong! Fire up the Barbie Kiwi-style.

Yep, 4^th July is upon us, or upon you, I should say, if you reside in America.

There are plenty of recipes to tempt on Shared Kitchen. It’s not what we are currently eating here in New Zealand as we have the slow-cooker chugging along while you have the sun shining down warming your souls. But, that doesn’t mean Shared Kitchen can’t be your friend. Did someone say BURGER? Here are 6 great choices, plus a no-bread no-meat chickpea version, and a couple of sides (got to have good fries with burgers, but so much easier cooking them in the oven). As I say, bang the gong! Call your friends over and get celebrating.
