Xmas Crack: What Kiwis are searching for online this season

From Sunday Morning, 8:10 am today

RNZ's Lifestyle and Entertainment editor Lucy Corry joins Jim to discuss what Kiwis are searching for online this year for Christmas; plus she shares her own mouthwatering recipe for Zuccotto, a traditional Italian dessert that can be made in place of trifle.

Lucy also fills us in on some unusual drink pairings that people can try over summer with their BBQ sausages and classic Kiwi Onion Dip, as suggested by some of the country's top chefs.

A whole Zuccotto (a dome of sponge filled with whipped cream laced with chocolate and hazelnuts) sits on a plate with a wedge cut out of it, the wedge is on a plate in the right foreground. There is a glass of prosecco and fairy lights in the background.
