Easy teriyaki chicken Say goodbye to jars and packets of processed chicken teriyaki marinade, because from now you’re making your own! This is my home-cook-friendly recipe and it’s a cracker. I reckon skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs are the best for this recipe (or equally as good is the maryland, which is the drum with the thigh attached). If you like, you can remove the skin from the chicken but it adds great flavour and I’m a big fan, so mine always stays on. If you want to use boneless…

Golden pastry and tender, juicy lamb rumps - Chelsea Winter's utterly delicious Lamb Wellingtons are truly delicious and simple to prepare.

Lamb shanks are a beloved Kiwi classic, and it’s not hard to see why. Although the shank is one of the least tender parts of the lamb (meaning it has excellent flavour), when it’s slow cooked, it falls off the bone. I’ve put a Moroccan twist on this recipe – the lovely hum of all those delicious aromatic spices will warm you up on even the chilliest of evenings. This can also be made in a slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours, low for 6-8 hours. Serves 4-6 Prep time – 25 minutes Cooking time –…

This beer bread recipe is sooo easy and so delicious, and only requires a few pantry staples. Since we’re all in lockdown here in NZ, I’ve coined the term ‘Lockdown Loaf’ – and it really is perfect in that sense. Stir the beer bread it up in one bowl – no kneading, no proving, no yeast needed. And if you need a gluten-free bread option, I’ve included that below the recipe. Tips This bread isn’t light and fluffy like a bakery loaf – it’s dense and dare I say, ‘moist’. And that’s how it’s…

This recipe was meant to come out in my new book later this year but I decided to gift it to you all early because, well, things have gone a bit to sh*t. It could actually be my favourite recipe of all time; the holy grail of all things garlicky and creamy. Seriously, everyone goes nuts for it. I no longer use store-bought mayo – this stuff is inexpensive, lightning-fast to prepare and goes with just about anything. Smeared on sandwiches and burgers, served alongside roast potatoes or veges…

Hotcakes A weekend breakfast doesn’t get much more fabulous than this! I’ve always had a fascination with lovely thick American hotcakes – they seemed like such a novelty to a Kiwi lass like me who previously only had the thin crepey ones. The thing is, some of them can be horrendously gluggy and stodgy – less than ideal. I played around with this recipe for a loooong time and think I finally cracked it – they’re light, fluffy and delicious. Go as crazy with toppings as you like; I’m talking…
