Recipe: Sam Mannering's little lemongrass cakes

I'm a big fan of what is officially known as cymbopogon. You probably know it as lemongrass, also variously described as barbed wire grass, silky heads, fever grass and citronella grass. I'm a little relieved that we know it as lemongrass, since telling people to "take 200g of barbed wire grass" doesn't have quite the same appeal about it.

Cuisine's top pinot noir

We call it the "annual pinot safari", our three-day quest to find some of the best pinot noir recently produced in New Zealand. This year, as is customary, prior to setting out each expedition member shared their views on the qualities they were seeking. For panel chair John Belsham, ageability was a priority: "We have to identify wines that will age. Great wines all have a swagger, even when they're young." Cameron Douglas was looking for what he described as 'pinot noirness' – "it's not a flavour, but a heartbeat, a soul, poise and tension". For John Saker, structure was all-important: "Wonderful fruit needs some serious scaffolding. Tannin management is the big challenge." From a field of 172 wines, some fine examples emerged, with 11 receiving the maximum five stars.

Recipe: Dark chocolate, peanut butter and caramel cloud cake cups

Stand back. I am not one of those diehard fans of peanut butter and chocolate. You see, a good dessert cannot be faked - it demands an innate understanding of why sweet is good. In my mind, the mouth-cloying power of peanut butter so often means the subtleties and nuances in flavour of a good dark chocolate are lost.

Cafe Chat: Office lunches delivered daily around Christchurch

A new lunch delivery service has launched in Christchurch thanks to one woman's own eating habits. Charlotte Bell was working in a central city office when she realised the serious lack of affordable, healthy lunch options for people like herself. As a keen cook and passionate foodie, Charlotte's choices were usually homemade. So, two weeks ago, she launched her delivery service, Bell and Co. Food. Her lunches are not aimed at "health nuts", as such, but more at the average person who wants to eat real food for lunch, guilt-free.

Recipe: Superior pork belly soup

If you think of soup as just a warm-up to the main event, think again. A warm, hearty soup doesn't need to be full of cream or starchy vegetables. Many Asian soups are rich and filling and contain neither. It all starts with good stock, which couldn't be easier to make. This is one of my favourite soups. It's simple to make and the Chinese cabbage gives it a lovely depth. Make a double batch and keep the leftovers for breakfast, lunch or another dinner.

Recipe: Fish curry with tumeric ginger and curry leaves

Rockling or blue-eye trevella fillets work well in this spicy dish. There are some less common ingredients in this, but they make a huge difference to the end result. Fresh turmeric has an incomparable, earthy, almost indescribable flavour, and it adds stunning depth and colour to a curry – just be careful, as it will stain your hands, clothes and even porous benchtops. Fresh curry leaves are another of my favourite ingredients. They are highly aromatic with a spicy, smoky fragrance that is genuinely unique.
