This dish is made special by the rice cooked with tomato pulp and butter – it’s tangy and refreshing, and much more interesting than just plain rice.

This is one of my favourite summertime flavour combinations, and the colours make eating it a treat. I garnish this dish with nasturtium leaves and flowers, which are found growing wild just about everywhere from the beach to a Ponsonby roadside! They’re not essential, but look great with the blood orange.

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.

Both Jani and I have strong ties to France and this 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.

A whole side of salmon makes a great Christmas treat.

Ready and on the table in 20 minutes, these tender, juicy, succulent Singapore prawns with noodles makes a deliciously easy dinner!

It does take a bit of time to make this, so it’s definitely one for a long weekend or a celebratory holiday, but it is so much fun to do and it’s such a spectacular dish to serve that it’s well worth that little bit of time spent forward planning. The fennel salad cuts the richness of the salmon and the mustard–dill dressing adds a lovely herby sweetness to the mix. The recipe is from Michele Cranston's "A Simple Table."

A zesty Asian-style salad that just screams ‘summer’, this recipe can of course be enjoyed at any time of the year, whenever you feel like the refreshing flavours of lime, cucumber and fresh herbs. If you prefer, replace the prawns with chargrilled squid or poached chicken. Michele Cranston has used pearl couscous—a large, round couscous— in this recipe from "A Simple Table" because of its slightly chewy texture and its ability to soak up the lovely flavours of the dressing. It’s sometimes called Israeli couscous or moghrabieh; look for it in delis or Middle Eastern supermarkets.

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

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.

This is perfect for a quick, elegant meal.
