Campaign urges Kiwis to support fruit, vegetable growers
A digital campaign urging New Zealanders to show their support for fruit and vegetable growers has been launched.
Australia-based French chef Manu Feildel has teamed up with Ingham’s NZ to launch the poultry producer’s Dinner Done campaign.
The campaign includes a range of quick and easy recipes cooking with chicken, as well as a series of cooking tips and tricks.
Feildel’s Dinner Done collection includes a series of seven recipes, ranging from those to help you cool like a chef at home, to recipes designed to get the kids involved.
The recipes are available now at inghams.co.nz/whatsnew with downloadable recipe cards and YouTube tutorials presented by Feildel and his 8-year-old daughter Charlee. Recipes include:
“We all have busy days, and after a long day – like everyone – I just want Dinner Done,” says Feildel. “Chicken is an incredibly versatile protein, is quick to cook and can be used in a huge range of recipes and cuisines.”
“As a father of two wonderful kids, getting a tasty dinner on the table that everyone will eat is a top priority – particularly midweek – and that’s why I’m excited to launch Ingham’s NZ Dinner Done,” he says.
Ingham’s NZ general manager Caroline Hayes says the company is ‘thrilled’ to work with Feildel and share the recipes and tips and tricks.
“At Ingham’s we’re committed to Always Good, and providing quick, easy and tasty meals is just one way we’re working to bring this to life,” Hayes says.
Tips and Tricks for Cooking Chicken
Alongside the recipe collection, Feildel provides a series of tips and tricks such as a video on ‘How to butterfly a chicken’, blogs on ‘How to cook the perfect roast chicken’, ‘Must-have dinner staples’, and more.
Launching the Dinner Done campaign, he shared his top three tips for planning and preparing midweek dinners to save time and make meals more fun:
