Cordis Hotel enters a new era

Cordis Hotels & Resorts is the new top-drawer global brand of the Langham Hospitality Group. Lucky for Auckland being one of the first in the group to have a hotel elevated to this level.

Summer days drawing to an end

As it turns out, 18 lettuce seedlings in a 30cm x 30cm planter is actually quite excessive.

Buffalo bliss

Mini buffalo mozzarella balls are so cute but treat them carefully because they are wondrously soft.

Potato Salad

Potato salad ready to go! Think picnic, barbecue or summer snacking.

Coffee & Hazelnut Tiramisu

Great. You get to the end of a meal with friends. Everyone’s having a ball, and you can too, because dessert is all prepared and ready to go!

Baked Eggplant & Peppers with Mozzarella

Not quite vegan, though still delicious without mozzarella, this makes a stunning centrepiece for a vegetarian meal.

Green Tomato & Avocado Salad

Pretty, sweet and sharp, green tomatoes make a perfect foil to the nutty taste and rich texture of avocados.

Song & Poetry Thing kicks off for 2018

Song & Poetry Thing held the last Friday of each month Waiheke Island

Chop Chop Time to get a new knife

Would you look at these prices!

Chill Thrill

Food to help you cool down!

Pickled Beets

Sweet but tangy, just the right balance.

Yoghurt Dill Sauce

This little quickie sauce will add zing to the simplest fish dish. Oh, and it’s low in fat!

Dill

Dill is a tricky little devil. It looks so innocent, all soft fronds and sweet anise scent, but it packs a potent punch, and the taste lingers. That makes it perfect with oily fish such as salmon.
