SOUPS - Small (1-2 people) Large (3-4 people)
This is a posh chicken noodle soup using free range organic chicken to create a beautiful stock that is then partnered with root vegetables, shredded chicken and cavatelli (instead of noodles) that we make in house. This is best finished with parmesan or creme fraiche and some fresh herbs torn over before serving and of course a slash of your favourite olive oil.
Pumpkin & Sage Soup! Sweet Butternut Pumpkins cooked with coriander & fennel seed and a hint of chilli. I've kept this soup vegan and it has still turned out super rich and creamy without the added dairy. It's sure to warm you from the inside. Pro tip: serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, grated parmesan or take it in a different direction with Sambal or other chilli saucesomeness.
PASTA - Small (1-2 people) Large (3-4 people)
Penne Bolognese: Super Classic with a soffritto of onion, carrot, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary, bayleaves, red wine, tomatoes, ground pork and beef. Pro tip: Serve with a drizzle of your best extra virgin olive oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
I'm so proud of this gnocchi, handmade in-house with Yukon gold potatoes and tipo "00" flour served with a traditional Napoli sauce of garlic, onion, basil and San Marzano tomatoes. I've been making this dish for 30+ years and I believe it may be the most delicate gnocchi available in the frozen meal category. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan and drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Line-caught NZ Salmon is marinated in my special spice mix for 24 hours before oven roasting. Served with mixed greens, roasted Sweet Potato and topped with tasty Salsa Verde, this is a lean and clean dish that will hit the spot and is an absolute staple healthy meal at my house. Pro Tip: Serve with some slices of Avocado if you're feeling ravenous.

An adaptation of a dish I used to make while working at Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Restaurant. This version of the traditional Italian-American Eggplant Parmigiana omits the messy process of breading and frying the eggplant, instead calling for roasting until golden brown. A total crowd pleaser for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Pro Tip: Heat and serve with fresh grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
A vegan take on the classic, made with red kidney beans, black beans and lentils slowly braised in tomatoes and spices served with brown rice, peas and spiced roasted sweet potato VG, VE, GF Pro tip: Serve with freshly made guacamole or sliced avocado, chilli and a squeeze of lime juice. Grated cheese on top can also be delicious

Gary's Quality Meats best Cape Grim grass-fed Beef is braised for several hours with red wine, rosemary and dried porcini mushrooms, served with dressed borlotti beans and Italian market greens. Pro Tip: a sprinkle of finely-chopped fresh rosemary, and some freshly grated orange zest will elevate this dish to 'super fancy'.
It sounds like an odd combination to sure, but when I tasted Chef Nick Stanton's version of this dish at Ramblr Restaurant I was blown away and it's just one of my favourite things to eat. There are so many layers of flavour here and my hand-rolled Cavatelli pasta is the perfect accompaniment. This is umami central and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top is a great addition. Please note this dish is 100% for lovers of chili.
