At it’s best, NZ food was fresh, simple and utterly delicious. Also, looking back, I think just about every meal we ate was cooked on the BBQ and stacked with beautiful fresh veggies.

Our typical meal during the trip looked something like this: BBQ steak with kumera chips roasted nice and crispy and steamed broccoli and carrots.

Or maybe BBQ steak with roast pumpkin, steamed spinach and carrots…

Or BBQ steak, buried under a stack of mushroom sauce, on kumera chips and served with steamed broccoli, spinach and red onion.
