Recipe: Jordan Rondel’s blackberry cake with apricot compote

While berries and stone fruit are at their peak, I can’t resist using them in every which way. The berries in this cake, as well as the apricots are completely interchangeable, so if you prefer raspberries or blueberries, apricots or peaches, try those instead.

Nothing compares with Sam Mannering’s fresh pasta

Nothing compares with fresh pasta. I’m insisting that you give this a go. Sundays demand this sort of activity. If I had children, I’d forever be distracting them with the pasta machine. I say hold back on any dried equivalent until you have the time to make fresh pasta yourself. It’s a revelation, and I don’t say that lightly.

Milo’s on-off love affair with health ratings

OPINION: Nestlé has always understood the value of a good story.

And no story is as powerful as linking your product with healthy, happy kids.

That’s been the big push for Milo for generations – think of Milo and images of crunchy brown powder, milk, chocolate moustaches and kids playing sport rise effortlessly up.

This just as effortlessly translates to sales because in the mad rush to do the right thing by their kids, parents have seized on Milo as a drink that will be loved and is also good for them.

Why did Johnnie Walker just introduce Lady Scotch?

OPINION: When news of “Doritos for women” or “lady chips” as they became known, broke around the world earlier this month to everyone’s collective dismay, Johnnie Walker, the brand represented by a jolly man walking with a top hat and cane on the label of scotch whisky, obviously did not get the memo.

Unions decline Fu Wah migrant tradie application, citing exploitation

Unions will tell Immigration New Zealand not to let a Chinese construction company import 174 migrant trades workers after seeing their employment contracts.

E tÅ« spokesman Joe Gallagher said Fu Wah would pay migrant decorators $25 an hour to finish off its $200 million Park Hyatt hotel on Auckland’s waterfront.

The migrants would have to pay for their own travel to and from work, and accommodation costs, while they stayed for the project completion in April 2019.

Gallagher said paying such low wages, and forcing the migrants to deduct living costs from their own pay, was exploitative.
