New Zealand Recipes
Traditionally, New Zealand cuisine combined
the traditional cuisine of the indigenous Maori people, and,
British recipes, introduced by settlers from
the United Kingdom (although of course modified to use locally available
ingredients). Although these two traditions remain the mainstays of
New Zealand cuisine today, as travel has become
more available in recent years, more cosmopolitan influences are starting
to appear in New Zealand cuisine - these include
influences from Europe and Asia,
such as
French,
Italan and
Chinese
inspired recipes.
Some popular dishes in New Zealand include:
- Colonial goose - A leg of lamb, specially prepared to resemble goose (which
was much desired but unavailable in early colonial New Zealand).
The bone is carefully removed and replaced with dried apricots and honey. The meat is
then marinated in red wine, and finally roasted.
- Fish and chips - Deep-fried fish in batter or breadcrumbs, and fried potatoes.
- Meat pies
- Roast lamb
Some popular desserts in New Zealand include:
- ANZAC biscuits - Both New Zealand and Australia
claim to have invented this dish for ANZAC troops sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign in World War I.
ANZAC biscuits are biscuits made from rolled oats, coconut and syrup, a recipe specifically chosen because it would preserve well
during the long sea voyage to Europe
- Hokey pokey ice cream - Vanilla ice cream containing small lumps of toffee.
- Lamingtons - Cubes of sponge cake, covered with chocolate icing and dessicated coconut. The cubes are cut in half, and a layer of strawberry jelly (jam) or cream is spread between the two halves.
- Pavlova - As with ANZAC biscuits, original authorship of this dessert is a point of friendly dispute with Australia. Pavlova is a maringue with a crispy exterior, but a fluffy, light, interior.

Lamb is Extremely versatile. Its delicate flavor speaks for itself by offering a unique taste for diners. Either simply prepared or with the use of marinades, seasoning and sauces, the flavor of lamb gives the dish an "upscale nouvelle", "hearty down home" or "ethnic" flair. |

It seems that most households have at least one favourite recipe or dish, memorable often not for its culinary sophistication, but for the rich associations between the food and the lives of those who prepared it. The pavlova that Mum sat on. The roast lamb named after the dog that ate it while it cooled on the kitchen bench. The boiled condensed milk mayonnaise the widower cooked faithfully to his late wife's hand-printed instructions. Indeed, we New Zealanders care about food, not just to nourish us, but to remind us of our history; of our place in a particular time. When the Sunday Star-Times asked New Zealanders to hunt out their old recipe books and share their family food memories, it opened a floodgate. Almost 100 readers took the time to respond, and what wonderful stories they had to share. It soon became clear that the Home Made series deserved to be captured in book form. This was further confirmed by the series winning a Qantas Media Award this year. This beautifully packaged collection of New Zealanders' family recipes and the stories behind them - many of which have been passed down through multiple generations - will simultaneously warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds. |
