Lemony white chocolate mousse with lemon curd and buttercrumb This recipe isn’t sickeningly sweet – the mousse is very light with a fresh lemon vibe. The curd is lovely and zingy so it cuts through the creaminess nicely. You’ve got great textures going on in every mouthful with the crunchy […]
Beef shin ragù Amazing. Easy. Inexpensive. This recipe will make you look really, really good when you serve it. ‘Ragu’ more or less refers to a slow-cooked meaty sauce (Bolognese is a type of ragu). This beef shin (or beef cheek) version is a sensationally tasty dish, as the cut is […]
Tender, succulent, perfect roast chicken Not all roasted chickens are created equal. Surely you just pop the chook in a roasting dish and cook according to packet directions? Actually, I reckon that dries the chicken out, and this method gives far juicier results. No, the skin doesn’t end up crispy […]
Slow-cooked lamb shanks This lamb shanks recipe is from my first cookbook, At My Table – I chose to share with everyone, because so many people say it’s the best lamb shanks recipe they have tried! Tender lamb lying provocatively on a bed of creamy luxurious mash and slathered in […]
Easy Thai chicken curry This Thai Green Chicken Curry recipe is from my bestselling cookbook, Everyday Delicious. You’ll impress the pants off yourself (and your diners) with this knockout – and I’ve created the recipe using ingredients that are easy to find. The main thing with Thai food is getting […]
Making and cooking pastry isn’t hard, but there are a few things to keep in mind so it works out perfectly every time. There’s nothing worse than going to the effort of making a nice batch of pastry, then missing a crucial step and ruining it. It’s made me crazy […]
Spiced pumpkin pie Pumpkin pie isn’t a common sight in New Zealand, but it should be! I’m chuffed with this recipe – I created it for an impromptu dinner with friends and it went down a treat. Just the right amount of creamy pumpkin, crumbly pastry, buttery coconut crumb and […]
Rhubarb, raspberry & vanilla mascarpone sponge cake When my cookbook was launched I was lucky enough to go on a NZ book tour, and I shared the trip with a clever cake baker, Jordan Rondel, who had just released her own cookbook ‘The Caker’. I like her style of […]
Vanilla cupcakes with white chocolate icing They may look pretty and delicate – but I can tell you, grown men have been known to moan with delight tasting these cupcakes. They’re a winner. I’ve taken ‘icing’ to a whole new level and put nearly a whole block of white chocolate […]
Panko-crumbed chicken drumsticks This could possibly be the most delicious chicken I’ve tasted, and it’s such a simple recipe. Not only are drumsticks affordable, they have loads of flavour and cooked like this, the meat is juicy and tender. No need for a deep fryer here, or loads of oil. […]
If you’re sick or just in need of something very nutritious, this soup is for you. Slowly simmering the beef bones at the beginning leaves you with a broth incredibly rich in nutrients and minerals – it helps rejuvenate our bodies and is very beneficial for our blood, bones and […]
I love beetroot. I love that on the shelf it’s an ugly brown looking thing that came out of the dirt. But under that skin is a beautiful vegetable that boasts not only a stunning vivid colour, but also a sweet, delicate flavour that warms the soul. And it’s very […]
