Irecently had the pleasure of meeting and eating with the down-to-earth<br />
food celebrity Nadia Lim as she celebrated the virtues of the somewhat<br />
polarising quinoa.<br />
My first experience of this wheat alternative was in a hipster restaurant in<br />
Kaikoura, where everything was terribly healthy and naturally delicious. At<br />
that point in time, I was still callling it qui-no-ah, and was immediately put off<br />
by its bobbly texture and the way it ensured all post-dinner smiles had the<br />
potential to cause embarrassment.<br />
Clearly, however, I was not going to pass up the opportunity to get to<br />
know the woman who has shared many a virtual meal with us thanks to her<br />
time with MasterChef. Even so, eight courses featuring keen-wah sounded a<br />
bit of a stretch.<br />
Turns out I was wrong. From the quinoa lavosh crackers to the avocado,<br />
pumpkin and halloumi quinoa salad, I could have happily dined on any dish<br />
again. Though I think I will still leave its preparation to the professionals.<br />
Nadia wasn’t cooking on this evening, but had set the task to a<br />
Christchurch team to bring her menu to life. It cheered me to hear our<br />
skilled foodies had created a “better” spread, with heartier helpings, than<br />
those at the Ceres Organic event in Auckland a few days earlier. It just goes<br />
to show, we know how to feed people in Canterbury!<br />
To celebrate wining and dining in our region, we have pulled together a<br />
line-up of particularly tasty features for you to sink your teeth into. We start<br />
be sharing the story of Alex Davies, the man behind award-winning Merivale<br />
sensation Gatherings, before highlighting more hot spots in the area that will<br />
have you salivating. We also provide a guide on the best drink in the world,<br />
Champagne, and share some insights into what sort of glassware you should<br />
be serving this effervescent delight in when the time comes to celebrate.<br />
As the party season starts to make itself known, you will be looking for<br />
the perfect outfit to match the calibre of each event. This month Victoria<br />
Tait took the team to the illustrious Hackthorne Gardens in Cashmere, to<br />
combine all the finer things in life in one delicious spread.<br />
Finally, as the stress of the festive season and end-of-year pressures loom<br />
on the horizon, take in what we learnt at the Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat.<br />
Don’t forget to “rest and digest”!<br />
