Pihikete Pata Me Te Paramu | Plum Melting Moments
These rich, buttery melting moments totally live up to their name. Lemon and freeze-dried plum add zingy flavour, while melted white chocolate and rose petals make sure they look as good as they taste.
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.
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.
Butterflied Spiced Chicken with Kohlrabi Apple Slaw
When a friend offered me a huge kohlrabi from her garden, I had to confess to having never cooked with it before.
A Decent Seed Cracker
Store-bought gluten-free or seed crackers are expensive, but homemade crackers are super easy to make and much more affordable.
Coriander + Beef “Sausage Rolls” with Spiced Plum Sauce
This recipe is great for a weekend lunch or as dinner with a salad.
Sad Aubergine Lamb Moussaka
Great for the lamb from an old lamb leg roast and aubergines that are about to go a bit sad.
“Ooey Gooey” Toasted Cheese Sandwich with Spinach + Onion
This sandwich is a goodie for the weekend, when you have odds and ends of bread from the week hanging about.
Pumpkin and Parmesan Gnocchi
Not the sort of thing you’d tackle after rushing home from work with a table of hungry mouths to feed, but it’s less trouble to make than you might think.
