Crispy potato waffles are a delight any time. Add the complexity of black sausage and a dab of crème fraîche to this potato waffle recipe, and you have something worthy of savouring together with a glass of good wine.
A trio of garlic – roasted, black, and raw – are wrapped in chicken and sealed with that tastiest of cured hams – speck. The braised red cabbage adds a nice sparkle to complement the garlic stuffed chicken breast.
Cooking the bacon-wrapped salmon using the sous vide method allows the flavours to meld while keeping the salmon delicate and moist. The charred corn puree and the braised endive bring some wonderful diversity to the plate.
Salmon and avocado are one of those perfect matches. Whether salmon and avocado sushi or adding avocado to a salmon burger recipe such as this, the combination is divine!
These duck and herb springs rolls would be great with a wide range of sauces. With this very special dipping sauce, they are phenomenal.
Sometimes a simple dish can be a truly amazing dish. This fusilli in tomato sauce is one such dish.
Like rice, pasta, and potatoes, gnocchi is a stage on which you can feature more complex flavours. This pan-fried ricotta gnocchi is the perfect foundation for sweet and savoury slow-roasted tomatoes, garlic, thyme, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

When you crave New Zealand paua but can’t get any, what do you do? Tasmanian abalone is a very close relative of NZ paua. This sautéed abalone noodles recipe is a great way to get the best from this ocean delicacy. Or use NZ paua for a more intense flavour.
The bold flavour of New Zealand green-lipped mussels melds well with the intensity of the spicy Sichuan style broth. Together they deliver a taste experience as delectable as it is unusual.
Kimchi is visibly present as a topping, but kimchi juices work together with buttermilk to ensure we have a tender, succulent, and tasty piece of chicken in this burger. This Korean influenced chicken burger has so much character, making western-style chicken burgers seem rather lame.
Succulent chicken thigh meat is combined with the chilli and umami punch of XO sauce in a crispy golden wrapper. This fried spring rolls recipe is something you will fall in love with. And the truffle mash provides a wonderfully earthy counterpoint.
Perhaps more appropriately called an Asian flatbread, this Asian pizza is topped with flavours from North-East Asia. The natto, kimchi, and yuzu kosho bring complex fermented and spicy notes to complement the classic tomato and cheese.
