A lovely, simple pasta recipe – you’ll impress your friends and family with your international culinary skills!

Ultimate Beer Batter Recipe

Beer batter is a popular option for frying fish and other seafood, as it makes a nice dark crunchy batter, and stays light throughout the process.

For an alternative that’s alcohol free, check out our Best Fish & Seafood Batter recipe.

Based on a classic French dish, scalloped potatotoes have become a classic go-to for kiwis in all seasons. It probably falls into the category of a “sometimes’ dish, but its not the same without the butter and the cream giving it that lovely richness.

Goes well with many dishes but especially roast meat, and best served hot!

Easy Pikelets

Pikelets are perfect for breakfast, brunch or even an afternoon tea snack. This is the easiest recipe we’ve ever seen for pikelets – its only got two steps!

The trick with pikelets is to wait until the bubbles start to appear on the top – then you know they’re ready to flip over and finish. Best served warm with your favourite topping, but also work quite well cold out of the fridge!

If you need something a bit bigger for a more substantial meal, try our classic pancake recipe.

Classic Pancake Recipe

A classic recipe for making traditional pancakes that everyone will love!

This one contains eggs and butter, just like your grandma used to make – if you’re looking for something vegan, check out our vegan pancake recipe, or try our easy pancake recipe for something a bit different.

You can serve these pancakes with your favourite condiments – this recipe is designed to make a thicker pancake, so it works well with jam and cream as well as the classic maple syrup.

Savoury Muffin Recipe

This is a great flexible savoury muffin recipe – the main part of the recipe shows you how to make the muffin part, and the fillings and flavours are up to you!

Savoury muffins are an afternoon tea staple – that lovely cheesy base, which is great as is, but can be jazzed up with some additional toppings of your choice. Keep it vegetarian, or add bacon for a classic bacon and cheese muffin – its up to you!

Best Banoffee Pie Recipe Ever

Ever since Keira Knightley showed up at the door with a banoffee pie as an olive branch in the film Love Actually, I’ve had a fascination with the flavour combination of this remarkable treat. The flavours are truly a match made in heaven, and this recipe produces a wonderfully sweet and rich bannoffee pie that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

The key to these beautiful, chewy choc-chip cookies is two things: making them big and beautiful, and eating them straight out of the oven. They’ll still taste great later for sure, but they probably won’t last till later once you’ve tried these chewy beauties.
