Summer entertaining in Yamba conjures up a casual table laid out with local Yamba prawns, oysters from the local oyster catcher doused with a zingy dressing and some pearls of native finger lime, and perhaps a rustic tart filled with ricotta and topped with locally-grown Woody’s tomatoes. It’s food that’s easy to prepare, serve and enjoy in our piece of coastal heaven.
I recently worked with Sonya, owner of the gorgeous boutique Belinda’s Store, to put together a spread that spoke of summer holidays in Yamba and championed local produce, whilst overlooking our spectacular Main Beach and out to the blue ocean beyond.
Here’s what I assembled and cooked for the photoshoot, and I think all are perfect go-to’s for your summer entertaining. I hope you get a chance to try these recipes and share them with your favourite people this summer!
1. The yummiest prawn rolls. I buy my seafood from Yamba’s Fisho on the corner of Coldstream and Yamba Streets.
2. Oysters with finger lime dressing.
