This month I have a recipe from my lovely sister, Nataszha who is also a superb cook, businesswoman and a pretty good gardener too! It's perfect for this time of year when you have a surfeit of tomatoes and can be used on top of bruschetta, through pasta, or as a simple accompaniment to BBQ'd meat, fish or chicken.

Continuing with my theme of courgettes or zucchini, this month's recipe comes courtesy of Suzanne Goin and is perfect for a hot summer's evening. Serve with fresh bread and a plateful of salad leaves (lightly dressed).

This month's recipe comes from Monika Moy, who has kindly agreed to let us reproduce it here. John, one of our lovely customers spotted it in a local magazine and has verified that it is indeed delicious and well worth a go!

One of the things that I have struggled with over lockdown is trying to get something on the table that's both interesting and quick. Takeaways still aren't an option for us in Auckland, so I thought I would share one of my go to recipes with you, when you really need takeaways but just can't get them. It's a spicy, nutty, noodle dish that you can make vegetarian by omitting the chicken.

This is my go to in winter when I'm short on time and ideas. It's a healthier version of macaroni cheese. Serve with steamed cavolo nero or your favourite winter green and some lovely crunchy bread and you are done! Its beauty is in the combination of flavours and its simplicity. The key to making it delicious, is all in the roasting of the cauliflower.
