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: […]
Dreamy double chocolate cupcakes These cupcakes are frightfully good – I’ve lost count of how many I’ve demolished so far during recipe testing. I reckon if you’re going to the effort of baking, you might as well make it as epic as possible. So it was full-steam ahead with the […]
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 […]

Chicken & pumpkin lasagne This is a recipe out of my bestselling cookbook, Homemade Happiness. It’s a superb meal that positively bursts with flavour – with tender chicken (free-range is best) in a rich tomato sauce, creamy pumpkin and lashings of glorious cheesy white sauce. Serves 8 Prep time – […]
(Image courtesy of Woman’s Day NZ) Apple pie with feijoa & maple I developed this lovely recipe for Woman’s Day magazine, and they were kind enough to let me share it on my website. With a crispy flaky puff pastry lid, it has a beautiful thick filling, lightly spiced and […]
Triple chocolate brownie This chocolate brownie recipe is from my first cookbook, At My Table. Who doesn’t love a good brownie? They’re fabulous not only for the obvious reason (i.e they’re loaded with gorgeous chocolate), but also because they’re so quick and easy to whip up. I kicked the chocolate […]
Gluten-free ginger & nut slice Forget about the fact this is gluten-free – I’d go so far as to say it could be nicer than the original recipe for my standard Oaty Ginger Slice! It works with a standard gluten-free flour mix (one without raising agent already added) or you […]
Oaty ginger slice (Click here for the gluten-free version) I found the recipe for this slice hand-written over 15 years ago in our family recipe book, way before the internet was around. I’ve since discovered the original version was Jo Seagar’s recipe – an amazing Kiwi cooking icon to be admired! […]
Tender Lamb in rich Puttanesca Sauce Serves: 4-5 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 3 hours Puttanesca is a traditional and much-loved Italian sauce usually served with pasta. I’ve put a Kiwi spin on it by adding lamb and serving it over a buttery kumara mash. I won’t tell you […]
