It has been in the works for months with not a glimpse of the interior due to the lack of street side windows to peer through. Inside, the vibe has been tailored to a Japanese den of nighttime eating and drinking, with the capacity to convert to more of a club in the late night scene at the weekends.

Recipe: Tapenade flatbreads with white bean puree and fried capers

Amp up the classic 'bread and dip'. These flatbreads have a spiral of black tapenade through them, and are excellent with more subtly flavoured dips like this bean puree. To cook the flatbreads, you'll need a solid iron or steel griddle, or an uncoated old-fashioned frying pan, as the non-stick finishes aren't to be used over very high heats.

Recipe: Semolina, almond and blood plum cake

The range of plums available in the markets these days is broad, helping to stretch the season from summer well into autumn. I am quite fond of blood plums. They're great raw, but they also cook exceptionally well, with the high pectin content of many of the varieties. This cake has a large, moist crumb and a high fruit-to-cake ratio. You can, of course, eat this cooled, but I like it warm from the oven with a dollop of quality cream.

Recipe: Butterflied greek chicken and salad

Having a few good, tasty marinade recipes up your sleeve is very handy for transforming ordinary meals into something exciting, and even a little exotic. They're a great way of increasing flavour without adding extra calories or fat. This Greek marinade is superb on chicken (a whole chicken or pieces), as well as lamb and fish. It makes for a flavour-packed healthy meal, which you can cook on the barbecue or inside.

From the Menu: Depot's Turbot Sliders

The turbot sliders are one of the best sellers at Al Brown's restaurant, Depot, in Auckland. Nearly every table orders them, but they're very simple - fish, lemon mayo, watercress, bun. Sometimes the simple things just work. They've become a signature dish at Depot and now you can try them in your own home. This recipe couldn't be easier. Brown warns against overcooking the fish - better under than over.
