Catching a Wave in LA's Venice Beach

Venice Beach. The name conjures up imagery of surfers, skateboarders and artists. But these days, this laid-back Los Angeles neighbourhood is becoming known as a haven of uniquely designed homes. Architecture has been part of Venice's story since the early years and noted architect Frank Gehry has designed several well-known properties in the area including the compound once owned by Dennis Hopper.

Save money, get fit and be happy: all the reasons you should have a vege garden

OPINION: When Tim Martin, an Auckland ecologist, took it upon himself to test whether growing your own vegetables is actually worth it, he was pleasantly surprised.

After a year or so of growing vegetables and fruit in his 40sqm Mt Wellington garden, he weighed all the produce, compared it to the price of store-bought food and worked out that he had made $1300 profit after all input costs such as seeds, fertiliser and compost. Crucially, though, he didn't include the cost of his labour.

Recipe: Raj-style chicken livers from Sam Mannering's kitchen

As a chef, I know all too well that offal is a hard sell. For some time now, I've been wanting to get a bit political and broach this topic. For most of my professional life, I've been trying to champion the cuts of meat that are often spurned. I refuse to make apologies for those who won't go near any of it. When done well, whether we are talking about tripe, brains, kidneys, bone marrow or whatever, it is sheer gloriousness.

Cafe chat: What it takes to be voted Christchurch's best cafe

There was lots of love showered on Sydenham cafe Hello Sunday at the Christchurch Hospitality Awards. It won the Press People's Choice award for best cafe, the hospo industry's award for best cafe and the supreme award for best establishment. The cafe's owned by Christopher Penny, Yasmeen Clark and Jonathan Spark. The head chef is Sam Stewart and the barista is Steve Hill.  

I asked Spark why the cafe in the old Sunday School building has struck such a chord? What's the secret? He points to a team that cares about each other and the customers. But the location is also a biggie. "We took a run down 1870s Post Office-turned-Sunday School and gave her back her personality," he says. The interior design was a very personal approach by the owners that gives it an original feel. "We really just listened to the building, she had her own story to tell," Spark says.

Neat places to enjoy Mexican food

Good Mexican food is not always easy to find, despite its growing popularity, and anyone who has been to Mexico knows how common it is for restaurants to poorly imitate their cuisine.

Mexican food should be fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour – although this does not always mean spicy. Many traditional Mexican dishes have intense flavours that are built on mild herbs, citrus flavours, and fresh vegetables, which won't leave the mouth burning. Regardless of what ingredients are used to create the dishes, if it isn't fresh, the flavours won't be authentic.

Luckily, Christchurch is becoming a haven for Mexican food lovers, with many restaurants committed to serving up only the most authentic of dishes. Neat Places looks at five of the best Mexican food spots in Christchurch.

A Puhoi homestead that bursts with antique treasures

Time seems to slow down in Puhoi Village. In this enclave 30 minutes north of Auckland, you'll find the ancestors of the Bohemian immigrants who settled here 150 years ago still wearing traditional dress as they wander past the century-old church and the shop that sells oysters and chips wrapped in newspaper. Children still learn the language of their homeland. In summer there's a wood-chopping competition on the lawn of the old pub, and in winter you can take your favourite game dish to the wild food night. "It's neat," says Bob Gilhooly. "It's like something you'd see in a village in Europe."
