Something new and delicious is blossoming between me and the love of my life, and we’re making it happen in front of a roomful of strangers. We’re cooking together.
Sure, we’ve done it side-by-side before — me grilling steak and Dawna making salad, that kind of thing — but in 13 years, we’ve never really cooked [...]
Sarintip “Jazz” Singsanong came to Los Angeles in 1979 with $200 and a suitcase. Like many immigrants, she also came with a head full of recipes from her village–in this case, Pak Panang in southern Thailand. Among her 12 siblings, she was known for her cooking: “Everything I make, I make delicious,” she says. One [...]
We seem to save kebabs and satays for the barbecue and summer months, but winter vegetables, golden roasted, make great skewered food dipped into a spicy nut sauce. The mellow creaminess of macadamias makes a perfect base for a sauce with other powerful flavours. Ingredients Lime Roasted Winter Vegetable Satay 2 tablespoons [...]
School holidays have rolled around again, meaning hungry tummies aplenty. Naomi Mitchell meets a Nelson woman aiming to transform the diet of teenagers.

Women who cooked during the Depression and wartime knew about economising, said he who follows these things. Their books will have what you want.
Not quite. If it was eggless cakes and biscuits made with mutton fat, the old ways would have thrilled me. If I knew anyone other than myself who enjoyed tripe and liver [...]

I like to make the most of seasonal fruit and vegetables. Over the summer months, a favourite family outing is to a Christchurch berry farm to pick our very own berries. The children love playing hide-and-seek in the bushes while I fill up my containers as fast as I can. In the meantime my colour-blind [...]
Non-believers can use half ground beef in this recipe. When you find out how delicious the venison is, eliminate the ground beef altogether.
Ask your butcher to grind the venison for you for the best result. If that isnt possible, either pulse the venison in a food processor until ground, or if you feel really dedicated [...]
