Why the Stars & Stripes this week?
Well, after a week that’s seen packs of wild animals resembling lions roaming the streets around Auckland’s Viaduct, and the breaking of Burgergate, and people shaking the moths out of bright red socks and Champagne sales soaring … it’s all gone a bit bonkers. 4th July is approaching, and that’s the time Americans like to chow down […]

Eating in the ‘Ham
If like us chicken is your go-to, why not mix it up a little? Bring on the prawns, broccoli crumbs and feta!
Cinnamon Baked Tamarillos
Mmmm. Sugary-topped, crimson juices, woody notes of cinnamon …
Tamarillo Salsa
A perfect expression of the seasons – tamarillos are peaking and at their best price and my kaffir lime tree is flush with large fragrant leaves.

Smoked Fish Chowder
Cool days and nights where you are? A mug of smoked fish chowder will see you right.
Black Barley Salad
Does black barley sound like it has been charred or smoked? Has it? Nope. It’s barley pretty well in its natural state with just the outer skin removed.
Gnocchi with Pancetta & Cavolo Nero
There’s a bit of action with pots and pans required for this dish, but it’s pretty easy to do none-the-less.
Slow-cooked Maple Pears
