French Toast
French toast with a proper custard soak and a low pan so the middle sets. Serves 4 in 20 minutes, and the bread that makes all the difference.
Cheese Scones
Proper Kiwi cheese scones – tall, light and heavy on the tasty cheese, with a cheesy crust on top. Makes 12 big scones in about 30 minutes.
Potato Salad
Potato salad is on every New Zealand Christmas table and beside every barbecue from Labour Weekend to Easter, and most of it is disappointing in the same way: the potatoes taste of nothing and the dressing sits on the outside.
Glazed Christmas Ham
The Christmas ham is the least stressful thing on the table, because it arrives already cooked. You are not cooking a ham. You are warming it through and putting a glaze on it, and the entire job is about ninety minutes of oven time you can do the day before.
Pizza Dough
Homemade pizza is usually let down by the base — pale, bready, and more like a scone than a pizza. Three things fix that, and none of them costs anything: the right flour, enough water, and an oven hotter than you think is sensible. Makes four 30 cm bases.
Waffles
Most homemade waffles are pancakes with a pattern on them. They come out of the iron looking right and they’ve gone soft and floppy by the time the second batch is done. Crisp waffles are a different batter and one piece of technique, and neither is difficult.
Weet-Bix Slice
Every Kiwi household has a version of this slice, and every version is slightly wrong according to someone’s mother.
Creamed Paua
Creamed paua is one of those dishes that never made it into cookbooks because it never needed to. If you dive, someone showed you. If you don’t, someone brought you a bag and told you what to do with it.
Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are five minutes of work the night before and nothing at all in the morning, which is the entire appeal. They’re also easy to get wrong in a way that puts people off for good — too much liquid and you get soup, too little and you get cement.
Focaccia
Focaccia looks like it should be difficult and it is the opposite — no kneading, one bowl, and a dough so wet you couldn’t knead it if you wanted to. What it needs is time, and almost all of that is unattended. Serves 8 generously.
Great recipe😄👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
