Nici says “Whenever they can, my parents take off to Central Otago to visit my sister and then follow the Otago Central Rail Trail by car for a few days. One of their favourite places to stay is Komako Peonies and Cottage Garden, where owner Heather and Grant offer the most amazing meals and hospitality. Mum came back from their last trip with this recipe that Heather shared with her. It’s delicious!”
