It has been a huge pleasure to create this second volume of A Table at Tangleby for you.

The recipes, once again, take you through the seasons so you can share what we are cooking and eating at my home, Tangleby Gardens, just outside Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand.

From simple snacks, easy baking and casual barbeques to cocktail nibbles and diner party dishes that are designed to impress, each recipe has accessible ingredients, straightforward instructions and a luscious photo.
