This recipe is amazing! If you are a fan of cauliflower cheese, you will go crazy for this amped up healthy alternative. I first tried this at my friend Emma’s house and I demanded the recipe off her (I even hounded her on Facebook when she hadn’t sent it to me within a few days). Charley Noble has a similar dish at their restaurant, and this is where Emma first got her inspiration to make […]
If you always order polenta chips when you are out for lunch and dinner, here is a recipe for you. This recipe produces restaurant quality polenta chips! The chips taste so good, you would never guess that they are baked not fried. Thank you Donna Hay for the recipe and Laura for the inspiration. The polenta can also be prepared a few days in advance if you need.
When I went to Auckland a month or two ago I had the most amazing breakfast at Dear Jervois (click her to see the deliciousness). The balsamic mushrooms were so freaking good that I had to try find a way to recreate this dish at home ASAP. Hannah and I invited some friends over for brunch to celebrate the long weekend – I know Labour weekend was a while ago, but hey I have been […]
This is a recipe for anyone who is on the pulled pork band wagon! All you need to do is place everything in the slow cooker, let it cook, and then boom! You have deliciously moist, tender and juicy pulled pork ready to serve. Recipe makes enough for 8 servings
These dumplings taste so good, you would think they came straight from an asian restaurant. They may look tricky to make but the technique is easy to master. Serves 4 Ingredients:
There is nothing better than a deliciously creamy fish pie. It is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like fish pie, then you will LOVE this recipe. The first time I tried this pie, was as a flat meal in Dunedin… many years ago when I was a poor university student. There are not many recipe’s that I would ever repeat from my scarfie days as they were all frozen veges and mince […]
Friday night called for drinks at the palace! Especially since we haven’t had people over since my two new flatties have moved in. Drinks call for platters. And you cannot have a platter without my favourite salmon dip!
Angus and Julia Stone were only playing one concert in NZ this year – and as per usual it was not in Wellington. So Hamish and I decided (I decided) that it would be a good excuse to have a long weekend in Auckland. Naturally, for a long weekend you want to make the most of every minute you have on holiday. We were amped to get up to Auckland ASAP on the friday night so […]
September has proven to be a busy month for me. Luckily, I have bought a jazzy new camera (Fujifilm X-M1) to capture all of the fun. Here are a few snaps: Skiing in Ohakune: The drive to Ohakune takes around 4 – 5 hours (more like 5 for the Barina) and this is the best sight you will see on the way up.
Wellington On a Plate was made for me. Two weeks of the year when you don’t have to feel bad about eating out everyday and trying to engulf as many burgers and fries as possible. Basically, Wellington On a Plate (WOAP) is a food festival where many of the best restaurants put forward a two or three course menu accompanied with a matched beverage. Many restaurants also enter the Burger Wellington competition.
