A good squeeze of lemon keeps things nice and fresh!

Get the sauces out! Serve hot crusty fries with tomato ketchup, malt vinegar if it’s a fave in your household (it sure cuts the build up of oiliness!) and a quickly made tartare sauce. Splendid!

It may not sound very glamorous, but it’s true nonetheless, although it has to be clarified that I didn’t actually make soup in my dressing gown, but rather in a pot …

No freekeh? Use burghul or couscous … just get cooking them.

Tomatoes are a fruit right? Yep. So, why not team them with fruit? Like blood peaches. And white nectarines…
Aunt Ruby’s German Green – shock your auntie with a smattering of jalapeno and white nectarine on a bed of sliced green tomatoes.

Check out the new classes for March – they’ll whet your appetite for the exotic.

Sticky, sweet, lemony-tart, and simply too hard to resist.

Pretty, summery, fresh and so moreish, a Rosé spritzer will see you drink less alcohol but have double the fun!

Mesmerising foamy waves breaking on the shoreline, sand between the toes and nodding off over the crossword; corn on the cob and more avos than you can eat; salads of white nectarines and peaches, red-fleshed plums; chilled frothy beers, salty lips and sizzling seafood … I hope your summer experience is all you want it to be….

is deciding whether to drink white or rosé … Waiheke Island has some stunning rosé wines, the perfect match for sunny days, summer lunches and seafood.

Get them sizzling!

Bring on the shower!

Come and cook with us on Waiheke – and enjoy a sherry tasting at the fabulous Casita Miro.

What you do in the privacy of your own home, is, well, your own business, except I’m rather proud of what happened in mine. Yep, we danced away the end of 2016, and welcomed in the opportunities a new year offers while chasing away the bad bits! When my head hit the pillow at 3.30am…

Oh, plate of happiness … guacamole, pineapple & pepper salad, fried taco strips AND char-grilled pork cutlets. Now there’s a meal!
