Under the Grill: Sydney-based French chef Guillaume Brahimi

Guillaume Brahimi is an acclaimed French-born chef who trained under the legendary Joel Robuchon before moving to Australia in the 1990s. He now owns the two-hatted Sydney fine-dining restaurant Guillaume Paddington, as well as the three Bistro Guillaume eateries in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. Brahimi is coming to New Zealand to share his talents at a very special dinner at Huka Lodge on October 1.

Restaurant review: Delhi Belly, Christchurch

Delhi Belly – what a fantastic name. The sheer ballsiness to name an Indian restaurant after slang for food poisoning is inspiring. I’ve got no jokes about it, I’m sure they have all been said long ago. And no, there was no post-meal queasiness.

There’s not a doctor on this planet who hasn’t given out free medical advice to family, friends and even total strangers.

Retaurant review: Hamilton’s Caffe Centrale

Risotto is one of my favourite comfort foods. It’s even better when someone else makes a decent one for me, as happened at Italian eatery Caffe Centrale, in Hamilton’s Alma St.

Experiencing New Zealand’s first Dinner in the Dark

I think it was red wine. Was it red? I savoured it more than a usual mindless guzzle.
