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.
Feijoa, Ginger and Coconut Crumble Shortcake
This is a multi-purpose delight in that it tastes fantastic either warm from the oven or cold from the fridge.
Double Peanut Brownie Cheesecake
Try to resist eating more than one slice of this dreamy cheesecake.
Honey-Roasted Pears & Parsnips
For autumn on a plate, try these pears and parsnips roasted in a sticky glaze, with pumpkin seeds for crunch.
Tomato Pilaf With Black Lentils & Caramelised Onion
This delicious and nutritious almost-one-pan-meal was inspired by Turkish tomato pilaf and Mujadara, a tasty combination of rice, lentils and onions found throughout the Middle East.
Puy Lentil & Walnut Salad
This recipe is all about how you cook the lentils. I will always cook lentils from scratch. They don’t take too long and the difference is everything.
Bruschetta
Three plant-based bruschetta toppings for whenever you need a quick and easy starter for a summer meal.
