Our young quince tree pretty much doubles the amount of fruit it produces each year.
This year there are plenty for quince paste, jelly and poached fruit, next year I may be setting up a factory!

Choosing Your Cake Mixer

My daughter Daisy is a keen baker and when it comes to decorating cakes her skills outweigh mine considerably. She makes cakes for friends on a regular basis and one of her worries about heading into her University flat this year was not having access to baking equipment.
My trusty KitchenAid cake mixer is close to her age (19). It doesn’t look at good as when I first bought it but with a one off visit for a service some years ago, it is still going strong. Much to her disappointment it isn’t heading to Christchurch with her as it remains one of my favourite pieces of equipment.
They are an investment and my thought is that the kids will get one (should they wish) as a 21st birthday gift from us. For now she has to rely on a hand held mixer which sure is better than the wooden spoon I was brought up with.
Lucky for Daisy her fairy godmother provided the cake tins, measuring cups and scrapers for her birthday – all KitchenAid brand, I look on with envy.
Choosing your cake mixer
Assuming you had the ability to buy any cake mixer on the market, what would it be?
Much of it depends on what your uses are but then again just because you don’t make sausages at the moment, who knows if you will be inspired to give them a go in 5 years time. You do need to think of all the possibilities ahead.
- Visual. In many/most homes a cake mixer sits on the bench as an aesthetic accessory. Therefore colour and style choices are important that they fit with you. You may also want your cake mixer to match with your toaster and/or kettle. KitchenAid do have great colour match choices with this.
- Attachments. If you do decide you want the option to make sausages, pasta, mince or ice cream then are the attachments available?
- Size/Capacity. What do you think your will be making in your mixer and in what sort off quantity. When I bought my cake mixer I knew that I would be using it regularly but little did I know that 19 years later I would have a daughter churning out birthday cakes so I am pleased I went for one with a generous capacity.
- Bowls. Does your cake mixer have the option of different bowl sizes or even glass bowls as an option? Glass bowls are useful for seeing into and also are microwave friendly if you need to melt ingredients e.g. butter. The downside is that they don’t like being dropped on tiled floors.
- Mixing. Many modern cake mixers incorporate all of the ingredients without requiring you to lift the beater and manually scrape down the sides I would be checking this out before you purchase as it really does make a difference.
- Speed options. Make sure you have a few to cope with the different tasks you will be expecting from your mixer.
- Weight. The heavier the cake mixer the more stable and the less risk of it travelling along the bench while kneading dough and other onerous tasks.
- Cost. Cake mixers can come with hefty price tag but the reality is that if you buy well then you should only need to buy once.
What cake mixer do you have and do you like it?

Two Worlds Paella raise funds for The Wellington City Mission

Paella is an aromatic Spanish dish of rice, saffron and vegetables, often with a ‘hero’ ingredient like seafood, beef or chicken. It’s traditionally cooked and served in a large shallow pan, known as a Paella. Nourishing, vibrant and without pretension, paella has held a place of honour in Spanish homes for centuries and is one of Spain’s most famous cultural exports, enjoyed by foodies all around the world.
All profits made from the sale of Two Worlds Paella helps The Wellington City Mission support more people and families in need across the region. We can guarantee, giving has never tasted so good.
Each Paella meal is being produced and manufactured locally at a kitchen in Petone, Wellington and there are five Paella favours: Chicken, Beef, Vegetarian, Lamb and Seafood. The product’s packaging is biodegradable.
We’ve called ours Two Worlds Paella, because it brings together a delicious, traditional old-world recipe and our wonderful new world, premium fresh produce.
The first Paella were cooked at the beginning of September 2019 and sold from New World Chaffers (City) on Wakefield Street Wellington. They’re now available at selected supermarkets and service stations throughout New Zealand.
Background: The Wellington City Mission, 19 Gordon Place, Newtown Wellington provides transitional housing, rest-home and hospital level residential care. They welcome you into their community lounge where you can enjoy the company and community of others. The Wellington City Mission provides food parcels, budget advice, and financial mentoring, one to one support and advocacy. They will walk alongside you, advocate on your behalf and support you to achieve empowerment, transformation and a fuller, richer life. 23,657 meals were served throughout the Mission (Annual review 2018-2019)
All the profits from the sales nationwide of Two World’s Paella go to fund this wide range of services. The Two World’s Paella range of ‘Ready Meals’ is available nationwide from participating New World Pak N Save and Four-Square supermarkets & participating gas stations nationwide. Available as a single-serve 400g ready meal, just heat in the microwave. For the best outcome, we recommend heating the Paella in a fry pan on medium heat with a little olive oil for around fifteen minutes, RRP $7.49.

Fabulous Fresh Corn Fritters
I love the crunchy texture of these fritters and the flavours are fantastic too.
Swap feta for the halloumi if you would rather but the little melting pools of cheese are pretty good.
COOKING PORK WITH CONFIDENCE – NEW GOLD STANDARD FOR COOKING NEW ZEALAND PORK CHOPS AND STEAKS

NZ Pork is setting out to help consumers feel more confident about cooking pork steaks and chops by introducing a new gold-standard cooking method which will produce perfect pork, every time.
The 6+2+2 method is incredibly simple, easy to remember, and never fails to create succulent, juicy pork. It’s so quick – you’ll have them on the table in 10 minutes!
Over a medium-high heat, fry your New Zealand pork steaks or chops for six minutes on one side. Flip them over and cook for two minutes on the other side. Then remove from the pan and rest them for two minutes.
The method can also be done on the barbecue to make the most of warm summer evenings and the long weekends ahead.
NZ Pork is challenging consumers to try something new and give the 6+2+2 method a go. Pick up a pack of New Zealand pork steaks or loin chops and see how easy it is!
“When cooked right, pork steaks and chops are incredibly tasty and juicy. Unfortunately, we are aware that people can be put off purchasing and cooking pork because they’ve had bad experiences with it being overcooked and dry”, says NZ Pork CEO David Baines.
We’re spreading the word about the 6+2+2 method so that people feel confident cooking perfect pork, every time.”
Contrary to what many have been taught, the best way to eat pork is a little bit pink in the middle, much like beef or lamb. The 6+2+2 method will produce delicious blushing pink meat for a steak or chop which is 2cm thick, so will be tender and full of flavour.
NZ Pork has worked with supermarkets and butchers to ensure that this 2cm thickness will be consistent across New Zealand pork steaks and loin chops. This is the industry standard to ensure that the 6+2+2 method works without fail.
Renowned chef Brenton Low has created six innovative new recipes using the 6+2+2 method. These recipes are packed full of interesting flavours and range from family-friendly soy caramel pork steaks to something for the more adventurous cook – cure your own pork pastrami!
These recipes and more information about the 6+2+2 method can be found on www.pork.co.nz
Remember, when purchasing pork, be sure to look out for “NZ Pork” on the label, or the 100% New Zealand or PigCare Born & Raised labels so you know that you’re supporting local farmers.
It’s All about the Christmas Ham

A glazed ham at Christmas is essential for many of us and a treat we really look forward to. Warm from the oven and served with new potatoes and steamed greens, it is an annual favourite.
The left overs can be pan fried for Boxing Day breakfast with eggs and stuffed into rolls and sandwiches for quite a few days to follow.
The type of ham you buy will depend totally on your family requirements and also personal preference.
For smaller numbers you are probably best buying a half ham but if you like the aesthetics of the shank then you will need to get in early or at least pre-order.
A champagne ham has had most of the bone removed so therefore you are not paying for the excess bone but often there will be gluten or another additive to help the meat stick back together from where the bone has been removed. A champagne ham, if cared for, should last longer than a traditional ham on the bone as meat on the bone will sour first.
Traditional hams have a bone running all the way through them and are trickier to carve. The benefit is hopefully that they haven’t had any extra “glue” to hold the meat in shape.
In New Zealand much of our ham is imported from Canada, China etc… If this is an issue for you then check the origin of your ham.
Free range hams are also available but these are in smaller quantities – the most authentic free range are from farms such as Havoc in South Canterbury.
(available from both Havoc and Gourmet Direct).
My family like the flavour of Freedom Farms free farmed hams.
*A large amount of ham is uses imported pork. NZ pork should have a sticker that identifies itself as being so but if in doubt read the packaging carefully. Words such as “manuka smoked” do not mean that the pork is from NZ.
* Ham flavour is often a personal preference but if you are buying an unknown ham then look at the ingredient list and pay attention to water content. Water is always added to ham as this is how the salt and flavour get into the meat. This is generally done by injecting the liquid in during the curing process. How much liquid goes in will depend on the company and sometimes you will find cheaper hams have more added liquid.
* Ham when purchased is generally cooked and only needs to be heated for the glaze to caramelise and for taste preference – warm ham is much nicer than fridge cold.
* Glazes are generally high in sugar from either fruit juice, jam, maple syrup or brown sugar – this then caramellises and you get lovely flavour and also an attractive ham.
*Hams can be studded with cloves, covered in pineapple slices and cherries or simply scored and glazed.
Below are some of our favourite glazes and a simple method for preparing your ham. Please do post your favourite glaze combinations as well.
Apricot Mustard Glaze
1 cup apricot jam (I use Anatoth brand)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
Marmalade and Bourbon Glaze
1 cup fine-cut home made marmalade
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Bourbon
Apricot Glaze
420g can apricots
1/2 cup brown sugar
(puree together)
Pineapple Glaze
3/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
Maple Glaze
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
Kate King from Gourmet Direct Glaze
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup soft brown sugar
finely grated zest of 1 orange
cloves to stud
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Remove the ham from all packaging and using a sharp knife make a zig zag pattern in the ham skin where the shank (narrow end) joins the ham leg. Be careful not to cut into the white fat, the aim is just to cut through the skin.
With the shank towards you, lean over the ham and gently use your thumbs to loosen the skin of the ham away from the fat layer across the rounded end of the ham, (ie the opposite end to the shank) carefully ease the skin off, trying not to disturb the layer of fat.
Once the skin is removed then score the fat by marking lines with a sharp fine blade knife, horizontally and vertically across the ham to make diamond patterns. Take care not to cut below the fat layer and into the meat.
Sit the ham in a large roasting dish, stud with cloves if using or cover with pineapple slices. Spread your glaze of choice evenly over the ham. Any excess can be used to baste during cooking.
* Pour 1 cup of water into the pan to prevent the glaze from burning as it drips off.
Cook for 30-45 minutes until the ham is a rich golden colour, basting with extra glaze several times during this time. You may need to turn the ham around during cooking if one side colours too quickly.
Serve the ham warm or at room temperature.
* Left over ham can be covered with a clean, damp tea towel or in a ham bag and stored in the fridge for 1 week. Change the tea towel daily or wash the bag.
* Ham can be sliced and frozen and used later in soups and quiche. It will lose texture once thawed so not ideal for sandwiches.
What is your favourite glaze combination and any interesting ideas for using up left overs?
Kumara, Green Bean, Feta and Almond, Rice Salad
How pretty this salad is and it also combines lots of textures and flavours.
The ingredient list may be long but the making is quick and easy.
You can substitute ingredients in and out to suit your taste and what you have on hand.
I use a mixture of edible flowers including rocket and chive flowers if I have them.
Cooking the Christmas Turkey

If there is one part of Christmas dinner that is going to cause stress it is likely to be cooking the turkey. How many times I have heard stories of dry overcooked turkeys or even worse under cooked turkeys? I think the worst story has to be from my radio co-host Tony Murrell who put the turkey into the oven on “auto clean” by mistake and completely cremated it!
Another friend was so proud of her achievement of cooking a perfect bird but while the meat was resting the friendly labrador had Christmas dinner first!
In our family growing up we had roast lamb and a ham and maybe some chicken but never a turkey. Aside from reading about them in books it was something I don”t think I had even tasted until my mid 20’s or later. Nowadays I do generally cook a turkey and we also have a glazed ham.
Turkey’s do need a little care to ensure that they are cooked just right but it is definitely achievable.
Many people opt for brining their turkey overnight in a salt solution with flavourings such as apple juice and spices. This will definitely give moisture to the meat and is a method that is highly recommended for producing tender succulent turkey.
Another option is steaming and then browning it at the end.
Turkey portions are also available and you can buy breast on it’s own or the very affordable turkey drumsticks. These are generally from Tegel turkeys.
Croziers free range turkeys are available at good food stores around NZ and are genuinely free range.
If you are roasting your turkey without brining then here is a simple method worth following.
1. Remove the turkey from the fridge at least 3 hours before cooking. To calculate the cooking time, remove the giblets, and reserve. Weigh the turkey. The turkey will need about 20 minutes per 450g plus an extra 25 minutes at the end of calculated time
.
2. Prepare stuffing mixes.
3. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat thoroughly wipe dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Lift into a roasting tin.
4. Stuff the main cavity and neck end of the turkey with stuffing, pushing the stuffing up between the flesh and the breast (not too tightly, as it will expand during cooking).
5. Pulling the skin back over and tucking underneath the bird to keep the stuffing in. Shape any remaining stuffing into balls. Wrap each one in half a bacon rasher and secure with a cocktail stick. Sew up the neck skin or secure it with a skewer, then truss the turkey to give it a good shape.
Place the bird breast side up on a wire rack in a roasting pan and cover loosely with foil. Do not wrap tightly or the bird will steam rather than roast in the oven.
Brush with oil and season well. Roast for calculated cooking time which in this case would be 3 hours and 5 minutes.
6. Place the pan in the oven. After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 180°C and continue cooking for a further 2 ½ hours, basting the turkey with the fat and pan juices every 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Remove the foil, baste the turkey again and increase the oven temperature to 200°C. Continue cooking the bird to brown the skin for a further 30 minutes, or until the meat is well cooked.To check the bird in cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the turkey thigh. The juices that run out should be clear and show no traces of pink. If are still a bit pink, continue cooking. Leave to stand for 20 minutes before carving.
Any turkey tales from you?
How do you cook your turkey and what flavours do you put in your stuffing?

November foodlovers
This month is a big one for me as I cycle the Alps to Ocean, eating delicious food along the way of course. I had great intentions of being cycle fit but a few weekends blocked out cooking for a school fundraiser and rowers at the lake has meant I am not quite where I want to be. At least the scenery, people and food will be fab.
A couple of new recipes include our Ultimate Caramel Slice, the photo shows just how thick that layer of caramel is, it is decadence in a bite.
Easy Cheesy Asparagus Tart Recipe is exactly as the title says. Super easy and deliciously cheesy.
As the party season kicks into gear check out our range of Finger Food Recipes.
Happy Cooking!
Easy Cheesy Asparagus Tart
This tart is so quick and easy to make and tastes so good. The recipe is not unique, it features on many recipe sites and for a good reason, it is great!
Make it when asparagus is at its best, with both price and quality.
Ultimate Chocolate Caramel Slice
This slice is rich and decadent, perfect for caramel lovers.
I make no apologies for the ingredients, just remember small pieces are all you need. :)
