More Auckland food secrets

Season's meatings
Health-wise, I’m allowed to drink as much
as I like, because I didn’t eat red meat for almost 20 years. Oh, but then I
did smoke quite heavily for about ten years. And I don’t exercise very much. So
maybe I shouldn’t drink as much as I like, but I probably will anyway, because
it feels good, and if you’re born after 1970 that’s the only test that really
matters.

The Diz on Pons
I’ve got a mate who loves going out for
brunch, but can’t/won’t (wan’t?) eat eggs. As you can imagine, this makes
things rather difficult when choosing a meal – not only do most of them feature
eggs, but some of them feature eggs twice over: look at eggs benedict, which
features two poached ones covered in a sauce of whisked yolks.

Metro review - District Dining

Summer oven, happened so fast
Merry Christmas and happy new blog sponsor.
Thanks to the visionaries at Samsung, Auckland Food Blog now has corporate
support, principally in the form of a new oven currently residing in my kitchen
and probably writing its own blog it’s so freaking clever. What would you say
if I told you that the hob can boil a pot of water in less than 90 seconds? Or
that the oven can simultaneously cook two different things at two different
temperatures?

Ten Auckland food secrets
I’m delighted and honoured to have been named one of the 15 food blog finalists in the Bloggers 2011 Awards (waddaya mean, ‘does New Zealand even had 15 food blogs?’ - you’re ruining my announcement). My initial reaction of ‘but I really don’t do it for the accolades’ lasted about 11 seconds before I hurried to the public voting page to see how I was doing.
‘Mid-table anonymity’ is the answer, something I’ve become well acquainted with through my support of Liverpool Football Club for the past couple of seasons, but which I’d rather hoped to avoid in my own home. So in an attempt to garner more votes and claw my way out of 12th place, I’m going to list ten Auckland food secrets for your amusement and education. If you like any of them, please click on these blue words and vote for me.
