Recipe: Chocolate and oat slice by Sam Mannering

It would be worse than selfish of me to not share this recipe. In my first foray into food TV, I rather nervously made it on Good Morning, so it’s a recipe I get a bit sentimental about.

The edgy town of Lyttelton undergoes a cool revival

Over the hills, through the tunnel, and not so far away from the Canterbury Plains, the portside town of Lyttelton is undergoing renewal like never before. It looks different, it feels different and there is a strong community pride in the differences.

Review: Mumbaiwala, Christchurch

It is a cold Saturday night and I have three hungry boys to feed. It is Dad’s choice tonight and I have vetoed burgers. We’re off to try the chaat of “Indian street kitchen” Mumbaiwala. Will the insatiable 15-year-old get his fill and will the picky nine-year-old be adventurous?

Review: Louis Champagne Bar in Christchurch

A champagne and oyster bar seems highly decadent for Christchurch. How many people in this city would go out of their way to pay top dollar for bubbles and seafood? When we walked into Louis early on a cold, wet Saturday evening, it was apparent that, actually, quite a few would; the bar was bustling and we were lucky to get a table.
