hearty vego curry

Surpriiiiise! Two recipes in two days…whaaaat?! I thought I’d quickly pop this hearty vego curry up this morning before heading into TVNZ for Breakfast as it’s one of the curries I will be talking about this morning. Given Pog and Hoob are both mostly vegetarian I am always thinking of things that I can make […]

I have been in ‘sad-arse dinner for one’ mode again lately, which has ironically worked out spectacularly well for my latest collab with Regal Marlborough King Salmon! Today’s recipes are for two cold smoked salmon snacks, both of which are super quick and easy to prepare, and can be increased in volume if you want […]

summer kumara & chicken tart with tomato & corn salad

Happy Friday! I was going to call this a picnic tart and salad, but given the weather forecast for the weekend I won’t…let’s call it a summer harvest tart instead? Personally I can’t wait for a bit of wild, wet weather, lovely as the summer sun has been, it’s just about at ‘too much of […]

Happy Saturdaaaaaay! How amazing is this weather…so beautiful, my lawn is basically dust, but I can’t get too bothered about it when the sun keeps shining. Right then, today’s recipe is another little collab with my mates at Best Foods using their bloody fabulous mayonnaise with lime juice, zest and garlic in a cheeky little […]
