Lamb and Kumara with Ambrosia

What I thought was beef, turned out to be lamb which I haven't had in ages! Tender, tasty and juicy served with kumara, Polynesian sweet potato which is a Maori staple food. I've read poems and stories of ambrosia and finally tasted this sweet concoction of strawberry yogurt, marshmallows, fruit and chocolate. Our first kiwi dinner prepared by a lovely family-the Wakas!

Flat White

All things New Zealand begin with kiwi. This kiwi coffee drink is prepared like a latte but the difference is the ratio of milk and espresso. A flat white has less milk and a bit less foam on top. I, for one am not a coffee drinker but found this drink to be quite enjoyable.
