Seafood
That most Kiwi of summer dishes – freshly-caught fish. If you’re lucky enough to have caught your own firm white fish (snapper, terakihi, and trevally are all fantastic), this is a dinner winner – even for the tricky customers! The secret to this dish’s success is to have all your ingredients ready, as once the fish is cooking, dinner’s just five minutes away.

White wine vinegar is a great basic staple wherever you are.

Make the most of this beautiful summer stonefruit’s flavour by giving it a little love on the barbecue or grill. The heat really brings out the flavour and caramelises the sugar, leaving you happy as a clam.

Make it the night before, pop it in a picnic container and watch everyone dive in!

Brazil’s national drink is a great way to get any party started! The original recipe uses cachaça (a sugarcane-based alcohol), but white rum like Bacardi works as a great substitute.
Beverage
You’re probably used to the classic Moscow Mule; this is pretty much the same thing, except with whiskey instead of the traditional vodka. Technically served in a copper mug, but no-one will judge if you’re giving them a tasty Irish cocktail!
