Goooood morning, and happy Sunday! It looks like another, cloudless, blue-sky day outside my bedroom, so a perfect morning to share these two luscious, summery desserts. Both have a coffee base but with a twist – the first is an espresso panna cotta which is rich, cool and creamy, yet still light – magic. (The […]
Goooood morning and happy Waitangi Day! Today’s recipe is a perfect one for enjoying with friends around the barbecue on a balmy summer’s evening, and super easy to prepare – bonus points. Juicy, spiced beef patties are slathered in tomato salsa, avo and smoked paprika-spiked mayo then topped with a fresh, crunchy slaw and fragrant […]
Well hellooooo – here we are three weeks into 2019 and I feel like I’m properly ‘back’ (even though I never really went away…). This recipe is one I put together for Fairfax, so appearing on Stuff, and in newspapers around the country today – and it is bloody delicious if I say so myself! […]
Happy New Yeeeeeeeeear!!!!! Welcome back for 2019, I hope your year has started as well as mine has…(more on that later), first up I thought we would ease into things very gently with something which is barely a recipe at all – simple smoked salmon with feta and ricotta whip. I originally put this together […]
And now for my second decadent recipe in association with the good people at Breville – I have one of these magnificent Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Machines to give away, as well as a rich and dreamy dark chocolate ice cream recipe to share.

serves 8 Well hello there, bet you didn’t expect to hear from me again so quickly – but as you can see I have been working on this gorgeous Christmas tart recipe for my friends at Mainland, and had a chance to shoot it this week, so ta dah! I call it a Christmas tart […]
Hello friend. (Admittedly late to the party and now watching Mr Robot having seen Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody). It’s been a while! Today I have a variation on an old favourite recipe – chunky corn fritters made using kernels sliced from the cob, given a garlic and chilli kick, topped with avo, more chilli […]
each makes 6 Goood morning! It feels like its been a while…today I have some delicious wee tarts for you that are ideally made to share with friends on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a glass or two of wine and a bitter green salad, but they also make a bloody fabulous picnic treat or […]
serves 6 Well by crikey prepare yourselves, I have a veritable extravaganza of recipes for you today! I had some of my dearest friends staying with me for the last four days, in between moving house, so I thought I would take the opportunity of having house guests to round up some of my other […]
serves 6 As you know I have been flat out lately, zooming around like a headless chook working on my magazine contract work as well as flying down to Welly for Hoob’s 21st and, (in case you hadn’t heard) getting stuck into (pun intended) my next book! In between I, like you no doubt, have […]
