Lamb, olive, lemon and potato pie

This recipe was created on our cooking day in Dunedin. I couldn’t come up with a lamb recipe to save myself. And I was nervous. After seeing the lamb hung up in Mike’s shed and breaking it down I wanted to give this animal some respect. There is no way you can go through that process and want to cook and serve a mediocre meal.

Warm lamb salad

I love lamb served with lots of fresh greens. I guess that way you are taking full advantage of the iron it provides by serving an appropriate amount of vitamin C with it. So no surprise for the theme this month I chose to make a lamb salad.

Although I have never made the trip to the Mediterranean to visit Greece I decided to use this land as the inspiration for this post. Melbourne has the largest Greek population outside of Greece and it was in Lonsdale St where I began my appreciation for Greek cuisine.

Savoury muffins

These muffins are from our Fisher & Paykel Cookbook. They are studded with pinenuts and olives and flavoured with fresh herbs, and when you bite into them gooey mozzarella cheese oozes from their centre.

Chicken baked with prunes, olives, capers and wine

Margherita and mediterranean pizzas

Pizza is an easy throw together meal that can feed the masses or make a feast for one. When considering what to cook for office favourites one of our customer interface engineers piped in with pizza and everyone in the blog team gave a resounding yes.

Focaccia with olives, rosemary and lemon

This recipe was originally developed for one of our premium built-in ovens and has become something of a classic down here in Dunedin.  I think half the office would have it in their repertoires!  I have been known to work my way through a whole one myself over a Sunday afternoon lounging around reading the [...]

Beef, tomato, olive and rosemary pies

A good pie is one of those guilty pleasures; light, buttery pastry with a tasty (typically) beef, chicken or vegetable based filling. On the other hand, a bad pie of questionable origins (tales of luke-warm pies from tepid pie warmers spring to mind) can put you off ever eating pies again.
