Recipe: Jordan Rondel’s mango and almond cake with saffron

Seeing plump, ripe mangos in stores has inspired me to bake with them. This cake is deliciously light and perfect for the warmer weather.The chunks of sweet, juicy mango are heavenly with the unique flavour of saffron, which also lends a beautiful golden colour to the inside of the cake.

Recipe: Sam Mannering’s Xinjian-style beef short ribs

As I stood in line at my local butcher’s the other day, I was debating whether a recipe with beef short ribs would go down well. Two decent supermarkets had failed to stock them and there’s a fine line sometimes, between offering something new and it being too inaccessible. Then the man in front of me asked for two kilos of them.

Foraging in New Zealand: How to find free fruit in your city

As dust settles on The Great Avocado Shortage of 2016 and we encounter skyrocketing banana prices, smart and sustainable eating has never been more relevant.

Instead of throwing your weekly pay check at out-of-season, imported food, there are better ways to get your five-a-day for next to nothing: utilising seasonal and natural urban food sources.
