Peanut Caramel Slice
There’s nothing homegrown found in here, but it’s an utterly delicious and divine slice that we all enjoy as a wee treat, and I’m sure you will love it too.
Keke Kahitete | Custard Slice
Custard slice often appeared on the smoko table, so eating it makes me very nostalgic for days on the farm.
Spiced Apple Cake
This is a lovely cake to sit down to with a cup of tea. It is best with a cooking apple, as the tarter flavour pairs perfectly with the subtle warmth of the spices.
Parāoa Pani Reka | Iced Buns
My dad has always had a thing for iced buns. He’d munch through six of them for lunch as a hungry teenager at South Otago High School, and we always had them in the pantry for his smoko on the farm.
Stuffed Marrow
This recipe takes me straight back to my childhood, where Mum purposely grew zucchinis into their older sister – the marrow – to stuff with venison mince.
Rhubarb and Berry Crumble
My girls’ favourite activity at the moment is sneaking into our berry house to hunt for ripe raspberries and strawberries; but any they miss go into this crumble.
Herb & Vinegar Potato Salad
My German-born husband loves this potato salad, as it reminds him of one his oma used to make. The combination of sharp vinegar, gherkins, fresh herbs and red onion are the secret to this flavourful potato salad, and I make it often through the summer months to take to potlucks and barbecues.
A Dream & Hard Graft
A way of life with a love of horses at its core, encompassed by a strong belief that horses can heal.
Sticky Lamb Spare Ribs
I like to use the lesser-used cuts of meat when possible. They are often cheaper, and if attached to the bone (like these spare ribs) they have so much flavour.
Peach, Zucchini and Mint Ice Blocks
Frozen treats are a must in the hot summer months. With a little forethought and preparation ahead of time they can be made with little effort.
Leftover Ham Quiche
I love being able to pull a ham out when we are busy on farm and I have extra mouths to feed – during pregnancy scanning, shearing or the Christmas work do.
Grilled Asparagus with Anchovy Dressing
This is the perfect BBQ dish. The dressing on this dish has more impact on homegrown asparagus, which is profoundly sweeter than anything bought.
Savoury Herb Shortbread
These are ridiculously moreish. They make a nice change from a sweet biscuit in the afternoon, and are great at aperitivo time!
All the Greens Ricotta Tart
Sometimes the garden gives a little bit of many things – this is a good way to turn it all into a delicious dish.
