With the silly season upon us we are keeping the weeknight meals as easy as pie - a spring chicken and vegetable pie made quick and light with filo pastry and pre-cooked chicken.
Ray McVinnie has 10 more spring wonders for the week-night cook that will hopefully leave you with more time to cook Geoff Scott's party food. His barbecued prawns, beer-glazed pork belly and chilli polenta chips with chipotle mayo make a set of substantial finger food sure to be seen at all the best parties.
We will have plenty more over the next few weeks to help you cater the end of year celebrations, before we hit you with Christmas, which is starting to make its appearance felt on bite.co.nz because - if you haven't done so already - it's time to make that cake.
