Recipe

An easy meal prep lunch or a lazy salmon patty Sunday, filled with pantry staples and lots of flavour.

Lobster tails are a summer barbeque treat my family loves. The shell protects the flesh as they barbeque, so it stays juicy and plump.

Let the seafood shine in this simple spaghetti marinara. Try to buy local sustainable seafood at your local fishmonger/market wherever possible. I love adding a chili kick in my marinara mix with the addition of some chili flakes or paste.

Bite-size bursts of summer flavour and texture to impress your guests, but easy and quick to put together.

This dish is a light starter with fresh, earthy flavours.

As we leave our property, we drive past row after row of cherry trees. For the last couple of months each year, every trip is spent peering through the trees, judging the growth and abundance of the year’s cherry crop and, most importantly, checking if they will be ripe for Christmas. To not eat cherries at Christmas is unthinkable, so I had to include them in this delicious finish to our Christmas menu.

This rich chocolate fudge Christmas wreath looks a bit fussy to make, but it couldn’t be easier. It is rich and chocolatey, so a little goes
a very long way.

I live surrounded by apple orchards, so this is the perfect festive salad for my family. I buy my apples and juice from a roadside stall not two minutes from my home — but you can get yours at the supermarket. This salad is fresh and light, perfect for a hot summer feast.

Take the cooking outside this Christmas and prepare the heart of this summery Christmas lunch on the barbecue.
