The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/03/12

Post-viral fatigue refers to lingering feelings of extreme tiredness after a viral illness. The British Medical Journal defines ‘long Covid’ as “illness in people who have either recovered from Covid-19 but are still reporting lasting effects of the infection or have had the usual symptoms for far longer than would be expected”. Erin O’Hara joined Francesca Rudkin on how to manage symptoms of post-viral fatigue and the expected recovery timeline. Erin is the co-founder, director, naturopath and

Mike van de Elzen: BBQ fig and halloumi salad

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/03/12

Mike’s website – goodfromscratch.co.nz This week I want to talk about figs, as they are so ripe right now! Figs have a very short season, so when they are fresh, we need to pick them straight away, as they don't last long once picked, Fresh figs are low in calories and contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. However, dried figs are high in sugar and calories. So fresh is best. So, this week we are making the most of the last summer nights and we are making a pretty amazing fig and halloumi

Dr Michelle Dickinson: Celebrating Pi Day

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/03/12

Tomorrow is Pi Day, so I thought we would celebrate one of the most well-known numbers in math. March 14th, or 3/14 – in the American date form – is celebrated as Pi Day because 3.14 are the first digits of Pi. Nerds around the world – including me – love celebrating this infinitely long, never-ending number – usually by baking and eating an actual pie. Pi is the most studied number in mathematics and integral to our understanding of geometry. Historians aren’t sure when people first discovered the

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/03/12

One of the many truths about us humans is that generally most of us don’t like change. In theory, we appreciate that it may be good, required or even desperately needed, but often not enough to overcome our preference for just, well, not doing anything. Our comfort is in complacency. Busy lives, stressful jobs, the joys and juggle of raising a family means the majority of us spend our time accepting situations beyond our own small bubble, maybe hoping it will change, but for the most part

Whitcoulls recommends Sarah Vaughan and Charity Norman

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/03/06

Reputation by Sarah Vaughan. She wrote a wonderful book celled Anatomy of a Scandal a few years ago which I believe is coming to Netflix in April. Can’t wait. It reminded me quite a bit of Apple Tree Yard which you must have read/seen? (and if you haven’t, you must!) Emma is a British politician who knows that reputation is everything. So, having already sacrificed a great deal for her career, it all comes crashing down when a series of misjudgements culminates in a tabloid journalist being found

So, 2 nights in Nelson, town is buzzing but I feel like – for the first time in my life – I’m an early adopter! It’s like tourism is just starting but the businesses are being overwhelmed. We waited an hour for our dinner last night and a guy from the restaurant next door came in to help serve. They had no idea where everyone was coming from. Our hotel breakfast took half an hour to be cooked as they only have 1 chef. The Saturday market was buzzing. I bought 3 pairs of earrings! We’ve had some

This week has been hard on us all! I especially feel for the food manufacturing industry. Not only are our hospitality struggling to open the doors, but I have never seen our supermarket shelves so empty. We are all trying our best, but when there's a bread shortage and supermarkets are limiting bread sales, it's a worry. I can help with that! Here’s my focaccia recipe, it's a super quick bread to make and doesn't really require a lot of work. Making it a great bread to make when your local

Where do you store your apples? In a fruit bowl? Apparently, that is where most of us store them. What temperature is your fridge set to? 4°C? Apparently, it should be but most of us have it set higher. This all comes from new research out this week looking into ways to help reduce food waste. The 18-month study looked into five commonly wasted food items – apples, bananas, broccoli, cucumber and potatoes. New Zealand households throw away 157,389 tonnes of food a year, worth about $1.17 billion

In a week filled with dark and shocking news, it was gorgeous to see photos and videos of New Zealanders returning from across the globe and reconnecting with loved ones at airport arrival lounges. The long, smothering hugs said it all. These Love Actually moments were a glimpse of pre-pandemic life (albeit with masks on). I’m sure there were a moments of sheer disbelief as loved ones drove away together. This week, three people mentioned they’d finally booked a trip for later this year – they’d
