These truly are a great appetizer choice for any season and are so simple to create. You can also prepare the filling in advance and keep in the fridge until ready to serve. The biggest challenge with these beauties is to only have one!
Beat the heat with this beautiful seasonal salad. This combination is so fresh, fruity and is absolutely bursting with the flavours and aromas of summertime. Incorporating the watermelon creates a refreshing burst, which mingles so deliciously with the fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, feta and green onions. Top this salad off with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze to create the most delightful summertime side.

You don’t always need the best cuts of meat to produce superior flavours. You can easily create delicious tasting beef dishes using this fantastic marinade on any cuts of red meat including; steaks, short ribs, roasts and more. This marinade is our absolute favourite and will help you bring your dishes to the next level. The secret behind getting the most flavour is letting the meat marinate in this sauce for 4-8 hours; allowing all the aromatic elements to be inflused into the meat! This recipe is superb when cooking on the BBQ. Tip: spoon any remaining marinade onto the meat as it cooks.
