I am after a real kiwi meal/baking/drink etc recipe! I am making a wedding recipe book for a close friend who lives overseas. So far we are getting recipes from all over the world and the only thing I can think of is a pavalova, what else could I use to add a bit of kiwi to the album? I have hit a real blank! ! TIA:)

Southland cheese rolls (a search on the left of your screen with the 'last 24 hours' changed to 'anytime' will bring up the threads with recipes for them), Bacon and egg pie, Cream Sponge, Kiwifruit recipes - jam, jelly, chutney, relish, etc. . Lamingtons, Custard squares, Marshmallow shortcake, Louise cake, Afghans, Peanut Brownies, Anzac biscuits, Apple crumble, Roast lamb and trimmings, Shepherd's Pie, Pumpkin soup, Smoked fish pie... .
Some of these may be made elsewhere? ?

The following I think are more typically Kiwi foods than some listed above. A lot of foods listed above are well loved and prepared foods in NZ but originate quite strongly from other countries. Trifles (English), crumbles (English), Lamingtons (Australian), Shepherds Pie (most definately English), Sponge (originated in Europe), Lamb (worldwide). These don't mean that these recipes aren't used a lot in NZ but they are equally used and originate from all over the world - so not really seen and thought of quintessentially kiwi.
The following I think are more typically Kiwi foods than some listed above.
ANZAC Biscuits shared in history, importance and belonging with Australian and New Zealand so can be used by both countries equally - so I would use in a kiwi cook book.

Thank you girls :) She is going to marry an Australian so Anzac biscuits would be perfect. For the wedding we are baking cookies and cutting them into kiwi and kangaroo shapes for the guests! ! She has a lot of friends all over the world (and me here in NZ) so we are getting a good range of recipies. As I am creating the book I'll fill it up and use a lot of your suggestions ... thank you :)

I think it doesn't matter if the food doesn't originate from here - its the food that we are familiar with that matters - the ones that conjure upmemories. .
