There are few dishes more fundamental than a good roast chicken, the basics of which follow two important principles. The first is to never overcook it. Chicken is full of flavour but it has a reputation for being dry because we’re terrified of under-cooking it, so we go way too far the other way. If you have to make a trade-off between crispy-brown skin and succulent, tender chicken, go for tender every time.

Remember the outcry when Marmite was temporarily taken off the shelves after the Christchurch earthquakes? Love them or hate them, yeast extract spreads are as Kiwi as you can get. While we all have a preference for either Vegemite or Marmite , are there nutritional differences we should be considering? We set out to help by comparing three brands for nutrition, cost and taste.

It’s hard to believe that someone could make a film called MEAT about the animals we breed, husband, hunt, butcher and devour and not be pushing an agenda. But that’s exactly what filmmaker David White has done.

“But isn’t London just so expensive?!” This question comes up a lot. The short answer is: “Yes, yes it is – most in demand places are.” Continental Europe is not much cheaper than the UK for eating out as a tourist. Set menus, plat du jours and Airbnb kitchens can go someway to reduce the holiday food bill, but what really helps is the European love affair with markets and fresh produce. Add to this the street food truck trend and you’ve got yourself a recipe for savings. Here are some of the must-visit marketplaces.

Potluck can make for some great eating, but it can be fraught too – especially if everyone dumps a bag of salad mix on the table as their contribution.
It’s far better for the host to point guests in a certain direction to ensure a balance of dishes.
I also think it’s good if some of the food can be eaten by hand, so there’s something to nibble on before dinner, and if the food can be prepared ahead and either cooked on the day or reheated.

I love the exotic flavour of passionfruit and always try to make the most of the short season. When paired with lemon, the tanginess of the passionfruit is enhanced. If you don’t have friand tins you can make regular cupcakes.
