Apple and mint is a pairing that’s just a delight. Make the most of crisp, seasonal apples in this take on the traditional mojito that uses vodka in place of rum.
Beverage
This delicious drink can be served hot or cold. We used blood orange for a more dramatic look, but normal oranges work just as well. This is perfect for sharing with your neighbour!
Food & Drink
As food prices bite, it’s never been more important for us to buy seasonal food to match the season. Local shops and markets are always your best bet for fresh food, with buckets of flavour and crunch.

Making magnificent meals in an RV kitchen sounds impossible – however cooking in the Bürstner Lyseo TD744 proved a breeze when MCD Editor Catherine Milford took it on the road.

The trick to this stovetop mac & cheese is the evaporated milk, and minimal cooking water. Evaporated milk has more protein than regular milk, so the sauce is thick and creamy without the need for making a roux. All these ingredients have a long shelf life, making it easy to whip up this easy meal wherever you are.

Hot chicken sandwiches are the ultimate in fast comfort food. This recipe is tasty without being too spicy; if you like a bit of fire in your sarnie, keep the seeds in the chilli, double your cayenne pepper and/or add more sriracha.
Sweet
Perfect for breakfast, lunch or even dinner, this is a great way of using up ripe bananas for a sweet snack that’s easy to prepare and even easier to eat!
Beverage
Make the most of fresh New Zealand limes in this delicious Daiquri-esque cocktail. Thought to be the oldest known cocktail in Cuba, Canchánchara was served as a healing drink (both medicinal and magical). Often served warm, it was used as a cure for colds. Whether it actually has medicinal powers or not, try it – it tastes amazing!
Beverage
Arguably the most time-honoured of all cocktails, the secret to a classic martini – as with all great recipes – is to use quality ingredients. Good gin and good vermouth are essential here. After that: olives or lemon? Shaken or stirred? Stuffed olives with blue cheese or pimento? That’s up to you.
Beverage
There are so many ways to serve this classic cocktail it almost needs sub-variant names. Serve as a shot with an oyster, Al Brown-style; go hard on the spicy sauce for a chilli kick… hey, you can even serve it with bacon!

This wonderfully soothing broth is delicious on its own, and it’s also the base for a host of other soups.
