Golden Glazed Ham

Whether it's Christmas, Easter or a fab summer BBQ, Golden glazed ham is mouth-wateringly delicious and just right for NZ's love of food and the outdoors. Glazed Ham is so famous in USA, it's got its own Day: 15th April. This ham recipe is simple with just 4 ingredients!

Buy a half leg of ham is my rule, as a full leg of ham just seems to be too much for the family suffering a week of ham toasties, ham sandwiches, ham salad, ham pizza, ham panini, ham stuffed potatoes, ham icecream...

This wonderful Golden Glazed Ham is ideal served warm from the oven with gourmet...

Icecream Christmas Cake

A Christmas cake recipe with a twist! This recipe's ideal for those who don't like traditional fruit Xmas cakes - which can be a bit heavy. This alternative is just yuletide right and the kids will love it!

Joyce's Wicked Pav Roll

I love pavlova, the Kiwi sweet treat.  But to be honest, I can take or leave it.  This pavlova recipe, however, has changed me.  This is Pavlova in a much funkier, easier, better way!

Eaten over Christmas and passed on from Bach neighbours in the Coromandel, this pavlova roll is just too good to describe. Soooo easy to make too! Tackle it for the festive season. People will be vey impressed.
