Everyday Delicious.
Recipe from Homemade Happiness – NZ’s bestselling cookbook of 2015! Sneaky rissoles with potato & leek smash I call these ‘sneaky’ rissoles because although there are veges hidden within them (and served alongside), no one will care or notice because it’s all so very delicious. Even the beetroot haters won’t […]
Glorious sausage quiche with caramelised onions This sausage quiche recipe is from my column in Woman’s Day NZ – far too good not to share with you all! I am an absolute quiche fiend (it’s one of my favourite things). I’ve ramped it up a notch here by making a […]
Swish Swedish meatballs This recipe is from Homemade Happiness. In case you can’t tell, I love cooking with mince. It’s versatile, affordable and is usually made from a flavoursome cut of meat. I’ve already given you the Best Spaghetti & Meatballs in Everyday Delicious, so now for my next trick: […]
Tender beef potato top crunch This recipe is from my second cookbook, Everyday Delicious. Technically, this isn’t a pie as I haven’t given it a pastry base (to keep it on the healthier side). I see this as kind of a really fancy, extra delicious shepherd’s or cottage pot pie, […]
The best spaghetti and meatballs ever This recipe is from my second bestselling cookbook, Everyday Delicious. Loads of people have told me they’re the best they’ve ever had – including those they’d had from restaurants! So, I can vouch that they’re rather delicious, and worth a go. The alcohol in […]

Moroccan lamb meatball feast The flavours of Morocco are a match made in heaven with New Zealand lamb. Not only is this recipe fresh, healthy and simple to make, it tastes better than greasy old fast food! I’ll eat my hat if your family doesn’t gobble it up and ask […]
Chelsea’s Ultimate Kiwi Burger Yes, I know the burger in the photo looks hard to eat – but let’s be honest, when we make our own burgers we don’t care about presentation so we just slap everything on and squash it down. Eating burgers isn’t supposed to be a tidy […]
Summery seared steak spaghetti Serves: 4-5 Prep time: 15 minutes This tasty little number is ideal as a lunch by itself, or dinner served with garlic bread (see tips below for a recipe) and a fresh green salad. It’s different – and a nice way of serving steak elegantly (well, […]
Healthy beef nachos with fresh avocado salsa Serves: 4-6 Prep time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 40 minutes Mike really loves nachos (he’s always requesting them for dinner), so I wanted to create a recipe with a healthy twist that was still utterly delicious. After all, real Mexican food isn’t meant […]
The best thing about this tasty Asian beef stir fry is as well as tasting delicious, it’s so quick and easy to prepare and costs less than $4 per serve. I use reduced salt soy sauce as this amount of standard soy sauce can make it too salty. You can […]
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 […]
