Chicken & basil macaroni cheese This is a nice little twist on a classic macaroni; I’ve added chicken for extra grunt and Parmesan, basil and garlic for a lovely Italian vibe. Sneaking in loads of spinach and peas, it’s a complete meal in a dish! If your budget permits, I […]
Coconut & vanilla banana loaf This is a perfect way to use those annoying bananas you swore you’d eat before they went spotty. It’s a buttery, almost cakey loaf, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put more butter on top! Or golden syrup for that matter. Delicious with a cuppa […]
Lamb & Rosemary Cannelloni Serves: 4-6 Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 40 minutes While cannelloni takes a little more effort than just spooning sauce on cooked pasta, I think there’s something really nice about the whole process of making it, and it comes out of the oven looking rather […]
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 […]
Fragrant Indian-spiced lamb curry with chickpeas Serves 4 This lamb curry is wonderfully aromatic and warming – and a great way to use a economical cut of lamb! The list of spices might look a little long, but you’ll find them all at your local supermarket and I think they […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
