With Australia day coming up I got to thinking about food I could make for my mates. Since i’m originally from New Zealand, I thought I’d put a bit of a Kiwi spin on things and make Kumara chips to pair with a good old spicy Aussie burger.
The Coles Grilled Range is great for barbeques with an awesome variety of cuts and flavours. My personal favourite is an oldie but a goodie that can be easily adapted for either a great dinner or a smash hit on the BBQ, Coles Grill Peri Peri Chicken Steaks.
Whilst a lot of people may be put off by peri peri thinking it’s too hot, this range has a bit of spice but no real kick meaning that it’s sure to be a hit even with those who can’t handle a bit of spice!
Is tender juicy chicken your favourite thing? How about beer? My friend Julia’s signature dish is beer can chicken. That’s right! A chicken with a can of beer stuck in its… umm… ”cavity”. It’s very un-ladylike. My friend is not a bogan, however she does have Jim Beam car matts that she swears came with the car when she bought it. 
Ever since I can remember I have been making my lunch at night for the following day. When I turned 12 I started making my own school lunches with my older sister. If we were left to our own devices we probably would have packed lollies, chips and donuts every day, but much to our disappointment Mum had carefully pre-selected some healthy options for us to use. This was definitely a good thing in hindsight, because now as an adult I try to make myself a healthy lunch each night for work the next day. 
Couscous is one of those delicious ingredients that I have always heard people talk about, but have never tried to cook. I decided I would give it a go to create this Moroccan inspired chicken and couscous dish which tasted absolutely amazing if I do say so myself.
