This cured ocean trout dish is perfect ‘no bake’ option on a summer day. The buttery brioche works well with the fish and the zest from the lemon, and Kewpie mayo is a winner on just about anything! Match with a glass of our Scarborough Offshoot Chardonnay.

This is a dish that you will always find at a Scarborough family get-together. Merralea Scarborough is an absolute whiz in the kitchen and this is one of her favourite and easiest recipes to prepare ahead of time. You can serve this with some homemade dill pickles as suggested or even on some delicious fresh bread or in a salad.

Bread and butter pudding is one of the ultimate comfort desserts. This version uses panettone, a light and delicious Italian yeast cake studded with candied orange and lemon peel. This pudding is lovely eaten straight from the oven but just as good reheated the next day and is perfect with a glass of Scarborough Late Harvest Semillon.

These arancini balls are the perfect party snack and a real crowd pleaser. Make the saffron rice ahead for a handy shortcut and cook just before your guests arrive. They are easy to make and will keep in the fridge for up to three days before being required.

Tea smoking duck at home is much easier than you think. It can be done on a rack over a roasting tray or in a wok with a lid on and sealed tightly with foil. Alternatively, an outdoor smoker is ideal, using apple or peach wood.

The garnish on this dish is the delectable crackle, the smoked duck skin that is fried until it goes crispy. It gives a really nice texture to the dish, that follows the classic wine and food pairing of duck and Pinot Noir.

This recipe is one of Merralea Scarborough’s absolute must-haves for the family festive table. The terrine is really quite simple to make, and you can make it a few days in advance. Merralea loves serving the terrine with a red capsicum chutney, cornichons and fresh crusty bread.

A delicious dish, full of contrasting textures and flavours. The Moroccan spice really brings out the pumpkin’s sweetness.
