The Food Show Auckland 2017

July 30, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

This weekend I made the trip up from Hamilton to attend The Food Show Auckland, following the food you may say. We arrived not long after the doors had opened and the crowds were already starting to roll in. I was on the look out for familiar faces as well and checking out and tasting lots of new foods.…

Locavore Long Lunch

July 23, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Today I attended a special long lunch that was put on by Nourish Magazine and Dough Bros here in Hamilton. The lunch was in celebration of favourite local suppliers and the impressive bounty of food produced here in the Waikato. With a guest number seating between 70-80, we were treated to a leisurely four-course lunch alongside some of the growers and artisan makers that are putting the Waikato on the map as a food destination. The lunch stretched over nearly 4 hours and was a great opportunity to sample local produce and chat with like-minded foodies.

Kānga Waru

July 7, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Growing up, spending holidays on the East Coast has plenty of amazing memories for my family and I. Along with putting out crayfish pots, laying a hangi and spending hours exploring the streams near the marae, I remember the food. My gran was famous for making her fried bread, money pudding and one of my favourite Maori desserts, Kānga waru.…

Fairy Bread Brioche

June 7, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

There’s nothing like being young again and looking forward to attending a friends birthday party. Celebration then seemed to be a little more low key and the party food was all about the favourites such as cocktail sausages, caramel popcorn and fruit! One of my favourite treats to find on the table however, was fairy bread. I know it was colourful and had the word ‘fairy’ in it, but I didn’t care. It was always a treat because we rarely had it back at home. The whole idea of fairy bread is that it’s fun, colourful and full of sugar. In essence it’s simply white bread, margarine or butter and sprinkles. How could you go wrong!…

Donut Truffles

May 19, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Everybody loves a good donut now and then, especially myself. They are delicious, easy to eat and can come in virtually any flavour combinations under the sun. Regardless of your favourite, I decided to come up with a twist on the classic donut and think a little outside of the box. So if you’re planning on entertaining and want to whip up something a little fun or fancy when it comes to an after dinner treat, look no further. These donut truffles also make easy gift ideas or even a great project to work on with the young ones.…

Berry Crumble Cheesecake

April 24, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

There’s something quite kiwi about the thought of a hot fruit crumble with a side of cold vanilla ice cream or fresh cream. Growing up, fruit crumbles were a weekend staple. My mother’s go to crumble was always a hot apple, topped with lots of delicious spiced crumble. This later led to experimenting with different fruit such as feijoas or sneaking in the odd berries now and then.…

Burger joints have been popping up all over the country for some time now and sometimes there’s nothing quite like a giant burger you just want to sink your teeth into. However sometimes is can be a labour of love and pay off in more ways than one if you’re able to prepare your own burgers at home when hosting guest. This flavour combo and recipe here will definitely get the room talking!…

BBQ Cheeseburger Pull-Apart

February 27, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Whenever I’m standing in the bakery section of my local supermarket staring at the fresh breads, one of my favourite loaves would have to be a cheesy pull-apart. There’s also something so satisfying about pulling away the segments of bread filled with delicious cheese in between.…

Warmer weather calls for cool drinks and cool desserts. So when I think cool desserts, I can’t go past the classic cheesecake. And if you asked me what one of my favourite cocktails for the summer season were, I’d always say mojito! There’s something so fresh about lime and mint that gets me every time….
