Dish的Issue 96 May/Jun 2021目录

This is absolutely my favourite time of year, the mornings and evenings are deliciously crisp while the days are often settled and clear – weather made for weekends away full of day-time adventures and snug evenings in. In this issue there is so much to mention, I hardly know where to start – perhaps with the two fabulous women we interviewed about their food preferences for our Plating Game challenge. Check out page 26 to see the dishes we created for style icon and business leader Karen Walker, and Silver Fern-turned-television presenter Jenny-May Clarkson – two simple, satisfying recipes we hope they’ll love! In New Zealand we are blessed to have a plethora of talented, innovative chefs pursuing their dreams of bringing incredible food to diners, even in this frustratingly…

Sarah Tuck, editor Apéro, Karangahape Road: There is often a buzz (appropriately) about the latest place in town, but recently I had the opportunity to revisit an old favourite – Apero on Auckland’s K Road. Owned by Mo Koski and chef Leslie Hottiaux, it is just the welcoming, intimate spot for anything from an easy after-work drink, date-night dinner or group celebration. Mo is your go-to expert on wine and with a laid-back vibe he makes everybody feel at home. Meanwhile, in the kitchen French-born Leslie, winner of the Australasian San Pellegrino Young Chef of the year award in 2016, dishes up flavour-packed, not-quite-rustic dishes. I can never go past the Goats Cheese Croquettes with Kamahi honey, the Burrata with Roasted Capsicum, Courgettes and Basil is insanely good, while the…

Karrin MacLeod, business manager Men in Kilts: It is a road trip through Scotland – the stars (Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish of Outlander) explore their heritage, meet local artisans, food, music…etc. It’s bloody brilliant. Available on NEON Alexandra Blackwood, digital editor The Bold Type: Like a more realistic Devil Wears Prada, The Bold Type is a juicy series about three young women working at a sex magazine. It’s light, it’s fun, it’s the perfect distraction from the fact that the walls seem to be inching inward with each day we spend above level 1… Available on Netflix The English Game: When you like pretty fiction and your partner likes sport, there is middle ground to be found in a beautiful, romantic period drama that just happens to centre around…

KAREN WALKER Fashion designer It’s not exactly a shock to discover that New Zealand’s most successful fashion designer has great taste in food. Known for her upbeat, colourful collections, Karen Walker has amassed a cult following around the world for proving that elegance and individuality can go hand in hand. When someone is that well known for her distinctive sense of style, you expect it to be reflected in everything from the art that hangs on their walls to the food they consume. What is more surprising, perhaps, is that she actually has time to cook. With the Karen Walker label available in more than 200 cities and one thousand stores, and encompassing accessories, jewellery, sunglasses, fragrance, homeware and bridalwear lines as well as clothing, you’d forgive her for poaching…

Hayden Phiskie, of Auckland’s Ada, wasn’t sure how business would go when the restaurant opened in November last year. Three months on and the consistently full, buzzing space – and the tired but fulfilled smiles of Hayden and fellow head chef Johnny Price – say it all. A Spanish mission-style, stucco-rendered building stands proud on a windswept stretch of busy Great North Road in the Auckland city-fringe suburb of Grey Lynn. It’s been there almost a century. Designed by architects E. Mahoney & Son and built to house St Joseph’s Convent, the building went on to become a boarding house when the nuns departed in the 1990s. It reached a sad state of disrepair by the time developer Andy Davies bought the building in 2017. With a heritage listing on…

WITH THANKS TO: Janet Blackman from the Professional Wine Studies Department and the AUT School of Hospitality and Tourism. For more on the programmes in hospitality, food and beverage, and hotel management, visit aut.ac.nz. Water kindly supplied by Antipodes. Well, if there was any doubt about the health of New Zealand’s pinot noir industry, the results of this epic tasting can put paid to that, with an unprecedented 20 gold medals being awarded out of a whopping 167 entries submitted. Hardly surprising when you understand that it is New Zealand’s second most widely planted variety next to sauvignon blanc. While splashes of wines arrived from vintages dating back to 2013, and a 2017 actually shared our first-equal spot, a massive 65 per cent of the entries came from 2019 –…

Keepers by Cherie Metcalfe, Allen and Unwin, $45 For many of us, it’s the tried and true cookbooks that have the most dog-eared pages on our kitchen shelves. These are the most used titles, full of classics requiring little effort and delivering consistently delicious fare for friends and whānau. New Zealand chef Cherie Metcalfe, founder of food brand Pepper & Me, set out to create just such an accessible tome when writing the 60 recipes for her cookbook, Keepers. Honing in on her time working in restaurants and on superyachts, she’s created a bunch of easily achievable recipes for dishes you’ll want to make again and again. Easy to find your way around, the book is split into accessible sections such as Morning Glory, A Bit On The Side and…

Notes for cooks To ensure successful results in cooking, we recommend you invest in accurate measuring tools – measuring cups and spoons and a measuring jug are essential and electronic scales are particularly useful as they weigh accurately in both imperial and metric. Always follow one set of measures in a recipe. Do not mix them up. DISH USES: Large eggs (size 7). Level spoons and cup measurements. Liquids are always measured in a jug and dry ingredients in measuring cups. NB: One tablespoon is 15ml (the Australian tablespoon is 20ml).

Hi Uelese, congratulations on your new role at Euro! What do you hope you will bring to the role? Uelese: Thanks! I’m honoured to follow in the footsteps of many great head chefs before me. A big part of my job will be carrying on that legacy, while introducing new flavours, techniques and practices to align with Euro’s new direction and for diners to enjoy. The new autumn menu at Euro will be split into moana, māra and whenua; what do you hope diners will take away from dishes being represented in this way? Uelese: The menu is a reflection of the special country we live in. New Zealand is home to so many different cultures and styles and the new menu plays into that, showcasing Aotearoa’s changing tastes. This,…

Artist Fleur Wickes’ emotive works are deeply personal but their honesty and humanity is what people connect with. New Zealand’s first Covid-19 lockdown in March and April 2020 was a challenging time for everyone, Whanganui artist Fleur Wickes included. “I found that I experienced every single emotion during lockdown, but that it was all heightened because of the situation – there was no distraction or relief,” she says. “Lockdown was a beautiful, tender time for me – I’m very much in love with my partner and living in a home in the treetops. But just because we were at home, life didn’t stop. I still felt times of deep grief, I still experienced the nightmares that are common for me.” Harnessing those emotions, Fleur created a new collection with only…

Sweeping its way across the green Northland landscape, the metal road weaves forward through nature’s abundant beauty. As dish food editor Claire Aldous and I drive, we keep our eyes on each driveway we pass, searching in vain for impressive signage indicating our muchanticipated destination. But The Landing isn’t showy or gauche, and certainly doesn’t need neon lights or mile-high writing to make a statement. The idyllic coastal retreat is nestled in the Bay of Islands, on a breathtaking heritage, conservation and lifestyle property. Its 1,000 acres cover farmland, beaches, vineyards and native bush, bird sanctuaries and protected historic sites. Interspersed on this hideaway you will find four magnificent private residences available to book individually or as a group, for discerning guests wanting to enjoy unparalleled luxury accommodation. Located at…

The worst thing about eating at Pici, the much-buzzed-about new pasta restaurant on Auckland’s Karangahape Road, is that it might cause you to have an existential crisis about your cooking abilities. It’s not that they dazzle you with fancy ingredients or complicated cooking techniques — although you get the feeling the chefs could pull any of those tricks if they wanted to — but something more daunting. They present you with dishes like pici cacio e pepe, made from just flour, water, butter, parmesan and pepper, and prove that truly good cooks can produce miracles from almost nothing. “The whole basis of our menu is simplicity,” says head chef Jono Thevenard, who opened Pici with his friend and fellow chef, Kaz Suzuki, and partner, Gemma Hareb, late last year. “We…
