Taste of Spain Friday Jun 18th Dilemma...

Either a wintry delicious "Moorish Lamb & Spinach Pie" (Pastel Moruno de Cordero y Espinacas) or a lighter "Salmon Asturian style in Apple Cider Sauce" (called in Spain -Asturias: "Salmón a la Ribereña"). I like both very much, but if the cold front continues in Northland it might be a better idea to slow cook the Lamb!

Slow Food Movement should arrive some day to New Zealand !

Fast Good Food with Local Ingredients

It was the great Chef Ferrán Adrià who mentioned recently that a Hamburguer for the price and quality of a McDonald's one is a very difficult feat to accomplish. Moreover, it is really difficult to get to the quality of their chips!

But try to follow David Packard's motto: "Do not compete, be different".

We create healthy fast food, with local ingredients from the wonderful vegetable and fruit basket of the Nortland farmers. Healthy like our Oven Roasted Potato wedges, with nothing more than a bit of seasoning, and in the oven with a bit of olive oil! No deep frying... for your health. Our fritters are made everyday, with vegetables from local growers (pumpkins, tomatoes, salads, etc).

And this obliges us to change the menu frequently to reflect the seasonality of Northland's production.

We are glad to be able to trace the origin of our veges and fruits to the farms non farther than 100Km!
