Recipe: Sam Mannering’s salad of Brussels sprouts and pearl barley with bacon, kale and hazelnuts

I’ll never forget discovering how Brussels sprouts grow. I thought I’d find cute perfect little rows… a cabbage patch in Fisher-Price miniature. What I wasn’t expecting was alien-looking totems with sprouts protruding like Martian pom-poms. To this day it remains one of those slightly unsettling revelations. In New Zealand the sprouts are removed from the central stalk before they are sold, but in the UK and Europe they generally remain intact.

Bringing magic to the stage through design in Christchurch

In the gender-bending Aussie film, Priscilla – Queen of the Desert, a trio of drag queens sashay their flamboyant way across the outback in an old bus to a pumping, thumping disco beat, entertaining and outraging the locals as they go. The bus is a constant and silent partner in their escapade.
