Maori cuisine. While NZ doesn't have a sizable culinary map, it still does have its unique flavour and touch to the Polynesian style cooking. Over the years, it has naturally blended with European cuisine.
1. Pudding with Greek Styled Vanilla Ice cream
2. KawaKawa Pesto and roasted Kumara

KawaKawa means bitter leaves and are native to NZ, and have many anti-inflammatory properties. Kumara is a term given to sweet potato; its origin can be traced back to South America.

Pineapple Shiitake Taco 🌮 is just amazing. It doesn't have any cheese or beans, unlike traditional taco. This is a semi-hard taco, so you can get a crunch and feel the softness. The earthy shiitake and pineapple are a match, complementing some fresh salad leaves, ranch and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.

You will need the following: (serves 1-2)
1 Shiitake Mushroom, cut in juliennes
5-6 Pineapple pieces, diced
1 Onion, cut in julienne
2 Garlic cloves, finely minced
1 Chilli, finely cut
1 TSP Asafoetida (hing)
All spice seasoning (you can use mixed herbs)
1 TBSP Ranch dressing (optional)
Ketchup to drizzle (optional)
1 TBSP Butter

In a pan, add butter, hing, onion, garlic, chilli and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes on medium heat.
Transfer in a bowl.
Add oil or butter and cook until it becomes a little crunchy; shape the tortilla by holding two ends and give a taco shape using a wire rack.
Spread some ranch, salad leaves, and pineapple shiitake mixture and drizzle some ketchup.

Syrian Hummus, Black Sesame Falafel, Tomato gravy, and Tahini.
Hummus is ubiquitous these days. While everyone has their version and stamp of authenticity, the Syrian version of Hummus is incredible. Surprisingly, unique foods come from places that face adversity. The use of the minor ingredient, black sesame, is a robust table turner and has a bitter, nutty flavor profile, and a touch of chervil, parsley, and mint leaves add a very soothing undertone to the palette.

Say hello to my latest variation of Guacamole. It's called Apple PiriPiri Guac, and it's worth a try. New country, a new dish, and perfect for Sunday brunch. So what is the latest variation? It's regular guac made from NZ Avocados (available in high-end supermarkets in India).
So with the regular mashed avocado, there's tomato, garlic, and lemon juice and here's the new part. Apples, Piri Piri powder and Orange juice. Sounds bizarre? Not at all. This guac accompanies by fresh salad, khakras and mini bhakris. (Swipe to check out my today's Sunday brunch) healthy and filling.

Let's review some Italian cuisine in NZ. Not that it is indigenous to the nation, but years of diversification and culture it has imbibed just like everything else; this is the first review of a local eatery, friendly, quaint with good old woody vibes and contemporary music.
From classic cocktails like Long Island Iced Tea to the traditional herby Gin, the drinks are up to the mark. Very well presented (not in the pictures)
And complementing is the beautiful food consisting of veggie balls with spicy tomato sauce and risotto, with sides of arugula, goat cheese, orange salad and polenta fries with garlic aioli.
Vibes, crowd and music add a bonus. Worth a visit.

⚠️ Long Read ⚠️
After a long time, something worthy of being an Instagram post. Saturday brunch in golden sunshine and alfresco setting. Had one of the finest Italian cuisine city has to offer.
Small cobblestones and a wooden floor lead the path to our table under a white awning roof with a background of white walls and lush green plants basking in the sun.
On my side background was an old tree which was utilised for hanging lights and also decorated with it.
Ears could hear soft music completing the ambience.
So the brunch began with few choices of usual such as Caesar Salad with fresh shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano and Rigatoni Pasta made in Romesco sauce but these dishes were signature and were made beautifully.
1. Warm Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Caviar, Burrata and topped with Micro Greens. The bread was well toasted, sweet and tartness of heirloom tomatoes, tangy-ness of balsamic caviar and milky burrata complemented each other.

2. Truffle and Brie Tartine. Anything truffle is always beautiful and pair with a semi-hard cheese like brie, it's a match made in heaven. The sharpness and pungent flavour of black truffle and salty creamy brie created umami with every bite.

3. Belgian Waffle with Creme Fraiche, Orange Marmalade and Grapes. These waffles were soft succulent unlike the commercial one and topped with creme fraiche and marmalade, the dessert had its charm. Can be a perfect breakfast dish too.

and

4. Chocolate Fondant with Icecream. Chocolate lava is very well known everywhere and almost everyone has imitated and had the value for money version but this one was class apart. The tempered chocolate in the fondant oozed with every bite and ice cream was a perfect companion.

This was my perfect way to end the brunch and spend a non-chaotic Saturday.

My ultimate soul food is Pasta of any kind. Though the dish sounds similar to what I usually post, they are different each time I make it.
Occasionally I follow recipe book steps but other times I just add things my way; just like I made this amazing Arabiatta sauce with a base of rosemary and garlic in extra virgin olive oil,
then added pure Italian tomato paste, added a 1/3 glass of water, salt and pinch of sugar. Cooked it for good 10/12 minutes then added parboiled spaghetti and a cup of pasta water. Turned off the heat and then added parmesan cheese and lastly topped off with Truffle zest, God of all flavours.

🔴You can get good Italian tomato paste at any food hall/nature's basket/premium supermarket.
🔴 Don't use those ready-made pasta sauce/ ketchup or store-bought instant sauces, they are not at all authentic.
