Over the Summer break, Jonny and I walked the Abel Tasman with Isabella and Louie and it was absolutely glorious. I was literally in heaven every single day. Walking, native bush, golden beaches…what’s not to love?! Having a shared common goal of making it by foot to a destination is such a great way to spend time together. The weather gods were insanely kind to us which made everything so much more enjoyable, especially camping! In the Abel Tasman you are primarily away from civilisation so simple luxuries we all take for granted such as power, running water to drink, fridges to cool food an ..read more

This smoked fish dip was inspired by Summer and spending time down at a family bach in the Marlborough Sounds. The past Summer the boys spent many evenings chasing Kingfish.
