Joan Mackenzie: The Plot and The Judge's List

2021/11/20

The Plot by by Jean Janff Korelitz. She wrote a book called You Should Have Known which was turned into the TV series The Undoing with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant that Francesca might have seen – it was terrific. This new one is about a writer who had moderate success with a book but can’t replicate it and is teaching creative writing at a 3rd rate university when one of his students outlines this brilliant idea he has for a plot – and at some point in the future, the writer appropriates the idea

Sunday Panel: Will Auckland open up next week?

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2021/11/20

Public health experts say letting Auckland's bars, cafes and hairdressers open next week wouldn't be wise but one thinks the Government may make the move anyway with cases and hospitalisations remaining steady. Nearing 100 days in lockdown, Cabinet will re-evaluate Auckland's alert level setting tomorrow and consider whether a transition to alert level 3 step 3 would be viable. The move would be welcome salvation for hospitality and close contact businesses like hairdressers, which haven't been

Joan Mackenzie: Cloud Cuckoo Land and Bewilderment

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2021/11/14

Cloud Cuckoo Land is the new book by Anthony Doerr, who wrote the fabulous All The Light We Cannot See which I think is one of the very best books of the last decade. It begins with the English translation of a long-lost book from Ancient Greece. It then transcends time and space, moving from Constantinople in the 15th century all the way through to 2146 with a narrative that somehow, inexplicably, links the timeframes, even taking in an ecoterrorist attack along the way. The guy is a

So this week we are firing up the BBQ and cooking steak with Béarnaise, I would like to introduce everyone to the wonderful world of the béarnaise sauce. The first time I prepared this sauce was whilst working at my first ever kitchen job some 35 years ago! We made some 30 litres of it every day. Today, béarnaise and hollandaise are as popular as ever. Think of it as a cooked mayonnaise or super flavoured egg sauce with richness and a certain power to lift everything you serve with it.

Dr Michelle Dickinson: Nanogirl on milk and sleep

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2021/11/13

So this week let's talk milk and sleep. I think most of us associate drinking a glass of warm milk at bedtime as a child as a ritual that helped us to feel sleepy. Previous milk’s sleep-enhancing properties were thought to be sure to tryptophan, but scientists have just discovered a mixture of milk peptides, called casein tryptic hydrolysate (CTH), that relieve stress and also enhance sleep (at least in the mice they tested). The research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food
