Maddie, the fabulously efficient dish Deputy Editor, has just poked her nose into my office to give me the gentlest of hurry ups for my overdue Editor’s letter… so here we go. I’m feeling just a whisper dusty due to fulsome celebrations at the Webstar Magazine Media Awards last night where dish won both Best Magazine Home, Food and Lifestyle, and also the coveted People’s Choice Award. (For the third straight year. That result is all because of you – we literally couldn’t win that award without your votes – so a huge thank you from all of us!). Rightiho – onto the issue of Christmas (literally). Traditionally it’s one of the most festive times of the year, yet also often one of the most stressful. Until now! This special…

How did a Kiwi dad-of-two dabbling in home brewing become a star of the international mead scene? The characteristically humble bloke in question reckons it all comes down to the quality – and simplicity – of his ingredients. Lone Bee Mead, made in small batches by Auckland-based Oren Dalton, contains just four ingredients: top-quality clover and mānuka honey, water and yeast. With no additives, preservatives, sweeteners or additional flavourings, it’s light, clean and all about the honey. “I was leveraging off New Zealand honey and how good it is,” says Oren. “If we make the best honey in the world, then why can’t we make the best mead in the world?” He’s been tinkering with home brewing for 14 years but says his interest in mead started even further back.…

After seemingly endless disruptions over the last few years, finally on 11 October, guests gathered at the very stylish Mr Morris in Auckland’s Britomart for a celebratory Dine with dish evening. The waitstaff were welcoming and efficient, ushering arrivals to their tables and swiftly providing glasses of luscious, biscuity Nautilus Cuvee Marlborough Brut NV to enjoy with canapes. The kitchen began what was to be a busy night by sending out flavour-packed kingfish with oyster cream in crunchily delicious nori chips and lightly battered enoki with allspice and sherry vinegar. Throughout the evening, Nautilus Estate winemaker, general manager and natural entertainer Clive Jones talked us through the incredible wines, while renowned Mr Morris executive chef Michael Meredith provided detail about the plates of exquisite food and how they were paired…

Leslie Hottiaux Apéro, Auckland Raised in France, chef Leslie Hottiaux completed her culinary school training in Toulouse and moved to New Zealand on a working holiday visa. More than 10 years later, she’s still here. The past decade has seen her receive numerous accolades – such as when she scooped the title of 2016 San Pellegrino Young Chef of the Year (Australasia). But she’s probably best known for the award-winning Auckland restaurant she opened with husband Mo Koski in 2014. Apéro Food and Wine, situated on a bustling stretch of Karangahape Road, serves impossibly delicious drinks and French classics with a twist – think goat’s cheese croquettes with Kamahi honey, an ever-changing terrine or Leslie’s homemade (and Auckland-famous) pork sausage with pickles and mustard. Here, she shares a family Christmas…

Liquids are always measured in a jug and dry ingredients in measuring cups. NB: One tablespoon is 15ml (the Australian tablespoon is 20ml).

Claire Aldous Food Editor @clairealdous Q Where have you eaten out recently and enjoyed? A Barulho keeps calling me back. I love its smart but casual sophistication and everything on their short, well-curated menu is delicious. Q Tell us about something you’ve cooked this month. A Ricotta gnocchi! They’re so quick to make, just fresh ricotta, nutmeg, parmesan, egg and a little flour, and I make a sauce with whatever’s in my fridge – maybe a few tomatoes, sizzled with fennel seeds, garlic and chilli, or browned butter, sage and hazelnuts. Q What recipe are you most excited about in this issue? A Christmas Day is definitely going to start with Sarah’s Sticky Chocolate and Fruit Mince Scrolls (page 39) and I’m thinking the Rack of Venison with Cherry and…

Hawke’s Bay local Vicki Bruhns-Bolderson began her career 40 years ago, training as a chef in Sydney. She spent years doing just about everything you can think of in hospitality – cooking here and overseas, running several renowned restaurants, including Bayswater Cafe in Napier and Bolderson’s in Hastings, opening a specialty food store encompassing one of Aotearoa’s first artisan bakeries (Bolderson’s Urban Food Store), creating the EIT Chef Training Institute, running operations for White Island Tours and working for Vetro Mediterranean Foods – before realising she needed a change of pace. It coincided with a dietary change for Vicki, who was diagnosed as highly gluten-intolerant in 2019. “I knew gluten wasn’t great for me – when we ran the bakery, I used to feel quite unwell by the end of…

Sarah Tuck, Editor Annabel’s Wine Bar, Auckland: Annabel’s is my absolute go-to place for most drink catch ups – whether it’s a work meeting, date night, girl’s chinwag or a catch up with one of my sons.

For many families around Aotearoa, Christmas is synonymous with a wee tipple. Whether you’re sipping bubbles before the big meal, serving wine alongside the turkey or enjoying a couple of digestifs post pavlova, Christmas is a time for indulgence and holiday spirit. Here are some of the dish team’s favourite ways to incorporate festive alcohol into your celebrations – for the ultimate special touch. Macerate fruit Use your favourite festive tipple – think brandy, whisky or sherry – to soak dried fruit. Rich and warming, the heartier spirits shine here, rehydrating fruit that may have spent a neglected year lurking in the pantry, and lending complex flavours you’d never achieve with a purchased fruit mix! You can use your soaked fruit in classic Christmas desserts such as fruitcake, Christmas pudding…

Venison is one of nature’s nutritional powerhouses. Low in fat and saturated fat, it’s a source of high-quality protein, so it aids growth and cell repair and helps you feel full for longer. Venison’s high levels of easily absorbed iron are essential for overall health and staving off anaemia and fatigue – and venison contains more iron than beef or lamb. Its rich stores of zinc are important for immunity and brain development, and it’s also a good source of B vitamins, including B12, riboflavin and niacin – all of which are important for sustaining energy levels and boosting immunity throughout the year. In fact, New Zealand venison is something of a hero meat. Raised in the open pastures of our countryside, in a natural, free-range environment, New Zealand venison…

GOOD THINGS, NEW PACKAGES… As if wrangling fruit into a bottle during one of the wettest harvests in living memory wasn’t hard enough, the folk at Cloudy Bay also took on the difficult task of redesigning their globally distinctive bottles. “We wanted to further embrace the beautiful Richmond Ranges that can be seen from the winery,” says Yang Shen, Cloudy Bay’s estate director. What’s the verdict? In the words of the great Selwyn Toogood, “By hokey, New Zealand, they’ve cracked it!” Now the most widely recognised New Zealand wine brand in the world, Cloudy Bay was established in 1985, one of Marlborough’s first five wineries to take a punt on the then new-fangled sauvignon blanc. Thirty-seven years later, the 2022 harvest was, according to technical director Jim White, a…
