5. Fijian Chicken
This richly flavoured Indo-Fijian curry is so very tasty that you almost can’t believe the simple ingredients. With a simple base of onions, garlic, curry powder and curry leaves, you don’t need to reach for any pre-made sauces to conjure up something delicious.

6. Fijian Coconut Fish with Tomato, Spinach And Rice
Poaching in coconut milk and aromatics like lemongrass is a lovely way of cooking fish. You can do chicken breast this way too. The sauce created is fresh and light, but full of flavour and with an unexpected but delicious flavour from the tomatoes.

7. Lolo Buns
These buns are soft and have a wonderful texture thanks to being steamed in coconut milk. A treat that you won’t be forgetting in a hurry.
