Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful mums out in the world. Every year, I want to bring you a recipe that you can all cook for your mums and this year is no different. But instead of a dessert or something sweet, this year, I want to share with you my own mum's recipe. Dutch pea and ham soup. It's a cracker of a soup and if your wooden spoon stands up in the middle, you know that it's just thick enough. Make it for your mum tonight!

Francesca Rudkin: Let's hope this taskforce is up to it

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/05/07

This week Health Minister Andrew Little announced a taskforce to tackle long delays for procedures and appointments within the health system. The thought of yet another working group or taskforce may make us roll our eyes, but this one is at least made up of people working at the heart of our DHB’s and health system – which should give us some hope. Those on the taskforce are at least aware of what can and can’t be done, and if they can’t come up with solutions to get rid of the backlog then I

2022/05/01

As the world begins to travel again, travel agents are digging around for the office keys in the bottom of the junk drawer and heading back to their desks. But things have changed. Many agents had to pivot and find other jobs as Covid saw the travel industry come to a grinding halt. They’re not coming back. They’re real estate agents now, florists, builders, some even went milking cows. New Zealand used to have about 5,000 travel agents. Now there are about 1,500. Megan Singleton,

Whitcoulls recommends James Patterson and Julia Haart

2022/05/01

Death of the Black Widow by James Patterson: thought it was time we gave the great (well, prolific at least) James Patterson a bit of an airing. This is the story of a femme fatale black widow type of monster who preys (mostly) on men; and is something of an escape artist as the police just can’t catch her. The cop in charge of the cases becomes obsessed with her but she’s a hard one to hunt down. Brazen by Julia Haart: this is one of my favourite books of the year so far. Memoir of an incredible

Cookbook fans, I wonder how much you know about how the beloved cookbook came to be? Did you know it was in 1845? Have you ever heard of its creator Eliza Acton? Or what about the fact that the only reason poet Eliza ever wrote and revolutionised the modern cookbook was because she was told poetry wasn’t the business of a lady? It’s a great yarn and it’s the subject of a new novel – The Language of Food. The book is written by historical novelist Annabel Abbs. Annabel joined Francesca Rudkin from

Mike’s website – goodfromscratch.co.nz Pinch and a punch for the first day of the month. This week we have been harvesting the start of our kumara. And as you can see, they are huge! Note: when growing Kumara they love a hard pan. By this I mean, when you plant kumara they are best grown approximately 20 cm below the surface but they need to hit something hard! This will force them to grow outwards and across otherwise they just continue to go down, creating a long skinny tentacle type shape

Science has just found out that men and women experience pain differently. We can never fully know how somebody else experiences pain – especially when it’s caused by something we’ll never experience ourselves such as gendered pain like childbirth (or man flu). Now a new study published in the journal Brain – https://academic.oup.com/brain/advance-article/doi/10.1093/brain/awab408/6551129 – concludes that pain is not experienced by male and female bodies equally. Studies have found that women are

Finally, common sense comes to the fore, it’s like a full stop has been placed under this contentious issue as the High Court acknowledges we needed to protect our border, but it could have been done better.
