Sadly crayfish aren’t as abundant now in the foreshore as in the times when Jani and I were kids clambering around the rocks. Over the holidays there’s often a generous relative or diving mate who will arrive with a juicy cray wrapped in newsprint. This recipe is one both Jani and I loved during our time in the USA – Jani in Nantucket, me in Maine – where lobsters are abundant local fare. It’s a great way to stretch a cray to serve a few hungry holiday goers. For the best results, use the freshest bread rolls you can get your hands on.

贾尼和我有法国和thi关系密切s dish is a bistro classic. You can pretty much find ‘moules et frites’ or mussels and chips in every little French coastal cafe and it can be quite an addictive dish. Jani and I and our blokes all adore this version – it’s perfect for enjoying here in New Zealand with the Pacific flavours of coconut and lime. Serve with a baguette to mop up the salty juices, a glass or two of rosé and plenty of cold beer, napkins and a large bowl for the shells. Bon appetit!

This beautiful baked salmon recipe was a must when Deborah Hutton was selecting recipes for her new book, 'Entertaining Made Easy'. After featuring it on The Australian Women's Weekly's TV Chistmas special, it has become a favourite on her Christmas table ever since.
I’ve always been a big fan of eating octopus and tend to order it whenever I see it on a menu. We’ve been playing around with this dish for a while and the result looks a picture, and more to the point - eats like a dream! While we’ve given you the steps to tackle the octopus prep, it can be a bit daunting so you can always ask your fishmonger to do this part for you. - Al Brown
Summer means lazy days and the glory of outdoor food: strawberries, barbecues, salads that surprise, having time to fish. We asked Al Brown, one of our favourite chefs, to showcase the best of summer with a specially curated Seasonal Supper. His response? A set of completely new recipes based on exquisite seasonal ingredients, matched to carefully selected local wines. It was a magical evening, and come the start of autumn, then winter and spring, we’ll be inviting other chefs to curate their own Seasonal Suppers. Enjoy the recipes here, and look out the next Seasonal Supper soon.
Try this light and tasty way of preparing raw fish. Although coconut milk is often used in the Pacific for this dish, it makes a refreshing change to leave it out.
