Manuka-smoked Ōra King Salmon, Goat’s Cheese & Lighthouse Gin
Just because this was the winning King Ora Salmon Dish 2016 doesn’t mean you can’t make it at home … Marc Soper shares his secrets.

Yes, a squirt of lemon is all a fresh oyster needs, but a quick cucumber pickle spooned on top lifts freshly shucked oysters to another level.

Gazpacho is one of the glories of summer – tip it over avocados, dot with olives & basil, sprinkle with toasted cumin and m’whaaaaaaa! Delicious.
