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.
Soft Cinnamon Scrolls
These super-soft and super-easy cinnamon scrolls are great for when you are time-poor, as you don’t have to wait for the dough to prove.
Smoky Split Pea & Bacon Soup
This is a lifesaver in the winter – it’s simple, makes a huge amount and freezes well.
Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Dates & Chickpeas
Take yourself somewhere warm and exotic with this Moroccan-inspired tagine.
Banana Blueberry Pancakes
Pancakes are wonderful little things – they have the capacity to make people very happy first thing in the morning.
Tora Chocolate Anzac Slice
A delicious Anzac slice recipe with dried fruit as an alternative for anyone not wanting to use chocolate – or you could use both!
Cheese Rolls
It seems every family has their own version of the classic South Island cheese roll.
