7 NIGHTS . . .
MONDAY Fish steaks with salmoriglio
Salmoriglio is a classic Sicilian blend of olive oil, lemon juice and oregano and when its drizzled on top of a quality piece of kingfish or groper you will be in flavour country.
TUESDAY Summer vegetable salad with chickpeas
Raw zucchini, carrot, beetroot, spinach and chickpeas form the basis of this healthy and substantial vege-packed salad.
WEDNESDAY Mussel fritters with sweet and sour avocado pepper relish
It is hard to go past a classic Kiwi mussel fritter, especially when it is topped with a homemade relish full of fresh flavours and just the right balance of sweet and sour.
THURSDAY Thai-style coconut and prawn noodles
Served cold these noodles are somewhere between a laksa and a bun cha with a flavour base of shrimp paste, lime and chilli mellowed out with a little coconut milk.
FRIDAY Swiss brown mushroom pie with tarragon cream
This vegetarian pie, with rich Swiss brown mushrooms, in a creamy sauce, topped with buttery puff pastry, is something special.
SATURDAY Herbed chicken, bacon and pineapple burgers
There is something wonderfully retro about pineapple on a burger, we love the idea of grilling the pineapple on the barbecue before popping it on top of the chicken and bacon. SUNDAY Lamb and potato rendang As this lamb rendang cooks slowly in the oven, your house will be filled with the heavenly aroma of coconut, tamarind, turmeric and cumin, just the name a few.
