The most Wellington of Wellington meals

This post is spon­sored by Cui­sine mag­a­zine. Thanks! Go buy a sub­scrip­tion.  We’re often full of  advice about places to go for a feed, because as Madon­na said, every­one should expe­ri­ence eat­ing out, but some­times some of us do like to stay at home and cook.
