A controversial waste transfer sta-tion in Sydenham has been given the green light by Environment Canterbury.

EnviroWaste has been granted a resource consent to discharge odour and dust into the air from a new waste transfer station, to go in the KiwiRail-owned B shed near

the intersection of Colombo and Cass Sts.

It now must wait for the city council to grant consent which mostly relates to traffic effects.

The application to ECan was publicly notified in The Press on February 25, but a lot of local busi-ness owners had not seen it.

A hearing took place last month, but a number of business owners

and the Spreydon-Heathcote Com-munity Board were unable to make submissions because they were unaware of the plans.

A total of 10 submissions were received, with six choosing to speak at the hearing, and all were opposed to the station.

The consent has been granted for 10 years subject to conditions.

The northern side doors of the

building must remain closed and open only for trucks entering, and if offensive odours are reported beyond the boundary, additional mitigation and automated doors may be installed.

All external vents in the building must be sealed and the quantity and particle size of material stored outside in three-sided bunkers will be limited. • Turn to page 2

• From page 1Dewatering, which removes

the volume of waste, will only take place inside.

ECan commissioners said “a focused review condition should provide further comfort to submitters that prompt ac-tion can be taken if operation of the site does not achieve the outcomes predicted by Envi-roWaste”.

Sydenham Quarter Incor-porated secretary Lorraine Thompson said she felt “abso-lute horror” when she heard the decision.

“We’re trying to get some growing, this is just ridiculous.”

She did not think the con-sent would be approved and believed there would have been more submissions against it had people known about it sooner.

“People are trying to do their

rebuild and this will be right next door.

“There will be people up in arms.”

Community board chairman Paul McMahon said he was disappointed in the decision.

“It’s a shocking decision to let something like that to go in what is an up and coming place.”

He said it was a special purpose railway space and it should not be used for a waste transfer station.

“I’m just really disappointed that again a special purpose railway has been used to put something there that is totally inappropriate.”

The traffic on its own will be detrimental to the area let alone the stench, he said.

He said it was good that there were conditions with the consent, but was not convinced

they would be effective.“They’ve got to open the

door sometime.“I don’t think there will be

any business or residents who will be happy.”

EnviroWaste environmental manager Laurence Dolan said the company was happy with the consent.

The 10-year term was shorter than what EnviroWaste had applied for, but that would give more comfort to residents and business owners, he said.

He said having the doors on the northern side of the build-ing only open when trucks come through meant odour could be contained.

“That will give the commu-nity a bit more comfort.”

EnviroWaste wanted to be a good neighbour and uphold good standards and practices, he said.

Transfer station gets green lightGOING AHEAD: The community is outraged at an ECan decision to let a waste transfer station be installed in Sydenham.

Two young athletes from Halswell both had success at the recent Halberg Junior Disability Games in Cambridge.

Brothers Celyn and Leuan Edwards, were honoured at the closing ceremony for their efforts.

Celyn won the overall swim-ming male and he and Leuan took away the overall athlete award, as well as the award for winning the triathlon team long distance.

The 2015 Halberg Junior Disability Games is a national three-day sports competition for physically disabled and visually impaired young people aged eight to 21.

Hosted for the first time by the Halberg Disability Sport Foun-dation, the games saw regional teams representing Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Canterbury, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu, North-land, Otago, Southland, Taranaki, Waikato and Wellington descend on St Peter’s School to compete against other young people with similar impairments in over 13 sports from April 10-12.

More than 100 athletes at the games competed in sports including ambulant football, athletics, blind cricket, cycling, equestrian, goalball, powerchair football, rowing and swimming.

A Heathcote River supporters network may be formed to help deal with the flooding and pollu-tion issues, which have plagued riverside residents since the earthquakes.

Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board members Helene Mautner and Melanie Coker, have organised a meeting next month with a number of organisations which want to see it improved.

The meeting will be held on June 20 and organisations will be asked whether they would like the group to be set up.

“Flooding is a very big issue because of the change in river due to the earthquakes, it’s not an easy thing to reverse,” Dr Mautner said.

“We’ve been doing things over this last year, the next logical step is to see if we can develop a network.”

She said groups like Forest and Bird, the Cashmere Stream Care Group, The Tannery, Friends of Ernle Clark Reserve among others have been invited to the initial meeting to discuss whether a network is needed.

“We’re getting a very good response.”

The river runs through three different wards including Spreydon-Heathcote, along with

Hagley-Ferrymead and Riccar-ton-Wigram.

Dr Mautner will update each community board on the possibil-ity of setting up the network.

At the meeting, the groups will decide whether to set up the net-work, how it would run and what issues it would focus on.

“The design of the network will come from the people involved.”

If the organisations give the idea the go ahead, further meetings will be held with other groups and individuals who would like to be involved.

Those may include local

schools, residents’ associations or anyone interested in the river.

“We want to include as many people as possible.”

The initiative was the outcome of a seminar held last year, where community board members went with Environment Canterbury to look at planting spots to help stop silt getting into the waterway.

The community board outlined the river being its top prior-ity in its submission on the city council’s draft Long Term Plan recently.

The board would like to see the river treated the same as the

Avon River and the issues be dealt with before less important projects in the city.

Board chairman Paul McMa-hon said it was important for the river to be a priority for the city council in the Long Term Plan.

“If you’re going to cut out stuff, don’t cut out our priorities.

“Do the urgent and important things first,” he said.

Dr Mautner said details of the network would become more clear after next month’s meeting.

“I’m very excited about the idea, I think it will be a good step forward.”

Grant for hubPhillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust has been granted $13,500 from the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board, to go towards the Phillipstown Community Hub project. The money will go towards telephone, internet, salaries, volunteer recognition, equipment and events. The trust has also hired a co-ordinator to work with residents and the organisations in the hub and the funding will also go towards their work.

Wastewater pipe repairsWork to repair a wastewater pipe in Orbell St, Sydenham, starts today and is expected to take two weeks. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Sandyford St and there will be no entry to southbound traffic on Orbell St from Cass St. A detour will be in place. Part of Hastings St East, Sydenham, will be closed for about three weeks, while a section of the wastewater pipe is repaired. Motorists will be detoured through surrounding streets and there will be on-street parking restrictions around the work site. Pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of the road at all times and access to driveways will be maintained.

School open nightLinwood College will hold an open night on Wednesday from 6-8pm. Students and parents interested are invited to visit and talk to teachers and staff and have a look around the school.

Polyphony: Storytelling through art

Hi Amanda, you have a project running this week for Youth Week?

Yes, it is called Polyphony. Last year we did the same project and we hope it will be a continual thing that will happen every year. It happens during Youth Week and the idea of polyphony is to get young people to tell a story with art. Last year we used photogra-phy but people didn’t understand the photography and people were good at all different art, includ-ing drawing and painting, so this year we have expanded it to all art and that is being exhibited at the Papanui Library.

There is a theme to the art too?Yes, last year it was the rebuild

and the young people came up with great ideas. This year it is ‘we are the future’, so quite a broad topic. The youth groups have explored all the things they want for the future. They haven’t looked too far into the future, and have focused on what can they change now for the people who will be in their shoes in 15-16 years’ time. Polyphony is all about getting ideas across in a positive way. We even had an American expert

come out to show us not photog-raphy but how to tell a story in art.

How has the lead-up gone to the exhibition?

Really well actually, during the school holidays we had a three-day workshop and had a group which had a chance to go on the work-shop, with the intention to de-liver that workshop back to youth groups, which was awesome. We were also able to get a film-maker in to teach all the technical stuff as well as getting an artist in to teach them how to draw. We found last year that some people couldn’t do the photography but could draw really well, so this year we expanded it and put them in the exhibit .

And where is it going to be displayed in the library?

It’s actually going to be on the side of the library’s windows. It’s a sticky thing that goes over the win-

dow and lets people see it from the outside, but people can still see out so when people drive past, they will see the awesome pictures that are up in the window. It’s great because Papanui High is just across the road and it’s about young people, so when they’re going past they can see it which is great.

Is this going to become an annual event?

That’s the plan. We’re hoping we get it rolling and then get

all the youth groups in the city rolling with it in their own groups, and we can do the printing. At the moment it is mainly just in our area. Just with the funding available we are able to do within the northwest area. It would be awesome if people in other communities would see it and run it. Last year we had it at CPIT, which was an awesome place to have it with so much traffic driving past.

How many pieces of art have you got going up?

Not really sure until we get them all. We have quite a fair bit though.

Away from this project, what is your role with Te Ora Hou?

I am the girls’ club co-ordinator. Clubs have been my main focus ever since I started here. They always hire a female to head it.

How long have you been there?About a year and a half maybe

two years, it has gone really fast.

Youth Week is here and one of the projects being run in the city is an art exhibition at the Papanui Library, showcasing some of the city’s best youth art. Reporter Kyle Knowles spoke to Te Ora Hou, Otautahi youth worker and one of the co-ordinators of the event, Amanda Smith, about the project.

for Youth WeekWhat is your favourite part of the job?Probably doing these community-based

projects, not only the polyphony ones we have done the last two years. It is nice to work with other youth events and other groups in the area too. I like being a part of events we hold in particular because when we put on events, young people don’t have to come to our youth group but have an interest in our events.

Are you from Christchurch?No. I’m originally from down south. I

grew up in the Catlans area then moved to Balclutha and I didn’t move to Christ-church until I was 19. I am now 27. Why did you move up here?

My parents moved up here and my brother moved up with his partner and when they moved, I didn’t want to be away from my family.

What did you do when you moved up here?

I had a gap year. Then I went to university and studied Maori and indigenous studies at Canterbury University. During that time, I volunteered in east Christchurch for two years and after study, picked up a job at the Agape Trust in Aranui.

What did the work at Agape involve?They do pretty much the same stuff as

Te Ora Hou but on a smaller scale but they operate more on the east side.

How did you get into the job?I had a really good friend who was work-

ing there at the time and she encouraged me to apply for a job there. I was a big part of Agape and that’s what excited me, with the chance of doing something different with a lot of resources and do other things was exciting. Agape was still an amazing place to work at though. My friend asked me about it three times before I applied it and then I got the job.

Where do you see yourself in the future?I don’t think about that much, but I hope

I would still be doing what I am doing now. I just enjoy the moment and can’t imagine doing anything else, I enjoy working with youth, they make me feel young.

What do you like to do away from work?

I love spending time with my family. I get a lot out of spending time with them. I’m a Christian and go to church on the weekends and love being part of that com-munity. I used to love sports too but haven’t been able to do much of that lately.

How come?I’m in the process of being tested for

a muscle issue. A couple of years back I got a really sore back and now we’ve gone through a process of elimination to find out what it is. It has taken a long time but they think I have fibromyalgia, which is basically pain in the muscles almost like arthritis. It’s like when you work out and the muscles go really tight but like that all of the time. So a lot of my time is spent at the physio and getting massages. Hopefully I don’t have it but oh well, life goes on.

What sports were you in to?I loved touch and flag rugby and a big

netball player. Just hasn’t really happened though and at Agape, we did a lot of out-door activity and that was a big part of my daily routine and a lot of the programme was adventure-based learning.

What is your favourite holiday destina-tion?

Usually within New Zealand, any other country I get a little anxious and I love things that are familiar. When you have such a beautiful country why would you go any-where else? I do like Te Anau, my aunt and uncle live down there and Milford Sound is beautiful.

BY KYLE KNOWLES

The man who defaced a war memorial is pleading with other taggers to leave it alone.

The man was 16 when he spray-painted the New Brighton War Memorial in December 2012, which had to be covered up for the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day last month.

Last weekend, the war memorial was tagged again, causing outrage across the city.

The man came forward to police recently to confess to his graffiti in 2012, as the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day loomed.

It will take years for his tagging to be removed because of the soft nature of the cenotaph’s stone. The cenotaph was covered for the 100th anniversary com-memoration.

On Thursday the tagger spoke exclusively to the Southern View about why he did it, and why he wants other vandals to leave the cenotaph alone.

He also apologised in person to the New Brighton Returned Services Associa-tion on Thursday.

The RSA accepted the apology.

Restorative measures have been agreed on by the RSA, and the man, over his tagging.

Speaking on the condi-tion of anonymity, the man told Southern View: “I don’t think it’s worth anybody’s time to start tagging. You can’t make money off of it, it’s a waste of time and you get in trouble. At the end of the day you just mess people round and mess other people’s stuff up.

He also has a message for the taggers who vandalised the cenotaph further last weekend.

“It’d be a lot better to hand yourself in before they

come looking for you, all for four or five letters with some coloured spray paint, it’s ridiculous the amount of trouble you can get in.”

He said the apology in front of the RSA committee members was not an easy thing to do.

“It’s not a pleasant thing, I’ve stolen, tagged and dismantled and it was the first time I’ve ever faced a victim and it was a daunting last couple of days. It was pretty hard knowing it was coming up.

“Once I’d been in there and fronted them it felt so much better. If I didn’t come forward and I got caught, there would have been seri-ous repercussions and for the fellas who tagged down there (last week) there will be serious repercussions.

“I hope this other young fella comes forward because it’ll be the best for every-one.”

Help stop the taggingIf anyone has any

information in relation to the latest tagging on the cenotaph, email Senior Constable Gary Bombay at [email protected] or phone Christchurch police on 363 7400.

Unique, relaxed dining experience

[Edition datE]2

Mouth-watering dishes like Marinated Salmon Skewers, Crumbed Truffle Mushrooms, and Crispy Prawn and Green

Onion Wontons are just some of the delights featured in the Cargo Bar’s new tapas menu.

Head chef John Gerrard, formerly a sous chef at The George, has created a fusion of tastes and flavours in the variety of sharing plates that is becoming an increasingly popular way for patrons to dine.

Just reading the restaurant’s menu with the larger Cargo Plates, featuring Cargo Bratwurst Dog, Southwestern Beef Burger or Chicken and Prawn Vietnamese Salad makes you hungry.

One of the reasons for the extensive menu is host responsibility, ensuring that the bar’s patrons eat while they drink. The bar has

been relocated and now opens out to the garden bar, with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy any time of the day.

There are many reasons to visit the Cargo Bar, not only for its handy location at the Hagley Park end of Lincoln Road, but for the range of well-priced and regular specials on offer. The tapas are only $10 on Thursdays and during the bar’s Happy Hour on Fridays and Saturdays, from 4pm to 6pm. During Happy Hour pints, house wines and bubbles are $6, and the extremely popular Cargo Crates with a choice of five different beers are $20.

Next door to the Cargo Bar is the busy and popular sister business, Bean Scene Café, offering supreme coffee, breakfast and lunch menus, and freshly made cabinet food.

BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICE

We’ve had a few cold nights now and the fortunate residents of the city who are still allowed to use their fireplaces are finding the firebox full of ash and due for the first clean out of the winter.

There are some commonsense rules about doing this. First you don’t put the ash into a plastic bucket. Second you don’t place the full bucket in the woodshed. Why not?

Well, a woodshed which burnt to the ground in Gayhurst Rd, Dalling-ton, in the early hours of last Sunday gives a pretty good hint.

Ash itself is an excellent insulator. So if there are hot spots in a packed buck-et of ash they will continue to heat the entire contents, eventually heating the bucket itself until the plastic burns.

So to repeat. Never put the ash in a combustible container. Ash can hold heat for up to five days after the last fire. Never store ash in the bucket. Spread it over the garden well away from the house. Stay warm and enjoy your fire. Just don’t ruin your winter by burning down house or shed.

The fire crew from Harewood were called to the rescue of a dog stuck down a rabbit hole in Harlech Mews, Avonhead, last Thursday.

I can only assume we are not talk-ing about a german shepherd here. Anyway some judicious and careful digging by the firefighters freed the intrepid hunter who will undoubtedly continue to chase any other animal that runs from it. We might well be back.

A decision on whether to swap part of a Sydenham playground with nearby Sikh Society land has stalled.

The Spreydon-Heathcote Com-munity Board was asked to make a recommendation to the city coun-cil on whether part of Buchan Playground should be swapped with the Sikh Society land.

But board members decided to defer making a decision until all the parties had visited the site to-gether to discuss the plans and the effects it would have.

Board member Helene Mautner said a date for the site visit had not been set but it would enable the board to make a more informed decision.

“We can see exactly what’s there and look at what’s proposed rather than just looking at a map.”

The city council is proposing to change Buchan Playground as part of the Sydenham Master Plan which was approved in 2012.

It has been negotiating with the Sikh Society to swap a 1230 sq m piece of land at the rear of the existing park, with the society’s empty 602 sq m site at 74 Word-sworth St.

The society would pay the city council for the additional land.

The city council says the swap would allow the park to have more street frontage, a shallower profile, improved surveillance and a bet-

ter connectivity through to Co-lombo St.

But the plan has received mixed reviews.

Local business owner Rod Stu-art presented a deputation to the community board opposing the land swap.

He said park land was for every-one to enjoy, and it should not be sold.

The Sydenham Master Plan outlined making Sydenham into a residential zone, and if that was the case it needed a big play-ground, he said.

He said inner-city green space was precious.

“Buchan Park is a little oasis in the Sydenham area. It is literally a breath of fresh air in a growing concrete jungle.

“All in all we were quite happy they made the decision to defer it.”

A petition is being set up in the area opposing the swap.

New Zealand Sikh Society rep-resentative Jitender Sahi told the Southern View the society was happy with the swap and excited about the redevelopment.

“New Zealand Sikh Society is looking forward to the comple-tion of the submission process and will aim to build the Gurd-wara to align with the ambience of the park.”

The society planned to build new premises on the new site within the next two years, but it depended on funding, he said.

Plans also include removing the play equipment because it was “infrequently used” and no longer complied with current safety stan-dards and changing the name to Buchan Park.

Other proposed plans would in-clude more seating so members of the public could enjoy their lunch in the park.

Some mature trees would be retained where possible and new planting up to 1m in height would be included to make the area look nicer.

The site would also be con-toured to remedy the drainage is-sues.

Aranui, Wainoni – high-vis all overAranui and Wainoni are the busiest parts of Christchurch for SCIRT this year, because of the more resilient vacuum wastewater network going in place. Thanks to everyone for supporting local businesses and slowing on detours.

• Breezes Road is now one-way from Wainoni Road to Pages Road.

• Crews are working hard to get Pages Road back to two-way past Cowles Stadium to Shortland St in June.

Sparks Road, Hoon HaySparks Road is one-way, west only from Hoon Hay Road/ the BP station towards Maryhill Ave for the next two months. There are two schools on Sparks Road, so watch for children.

Hills Road, EdgewareIf you are heading into town along Hills Road, south of Shirley Road, expect a detour for the next few weeks along Guild, Slater and Dudley Streets.

There are restrictions on turns into Hills Road while it is northbound only past Edgeware Road. Use Barbadoes St or Fitzgerald Ave if you can.

Worcester St, Linwood - Info Session Saturday Drivers will not be able to turn into Worcester St off Linwood Ave, going towards Woodham Road, from Monday, 25 May. An information session on this major pipe replacement is being held Saturday, 23 May, 11 am to 1 pm, Linwood North Primary School library.

Opawa/ Ensors Road roundaboutOpawa Road went one-way, eastbound only from Brougham St towards Ensors Road this week. Citybound drivers were detoured. This work was not well forewarned so thanks to drivers and residents.

There may be more work on Opawa Road in a fortnight with the one-way going the other way.

SCIRT TRAFFIC NEWS

If you were wondering why Pages Road, Aranui, is one-way, this is the reason. The six “arms” or vacuum wastewater pipes are now all lined up in the trench, linking to the new vacuum pumping station, Bexley Reserve. Barry McDonald, City Care project manager, left, and Ash McLaren, City Care driver, check out the progress.

Regular exercise and activity are important to the physical and mental health of almost everyone, especially older adults. “Being

physically active creates a long list of bene� ts and allows for people to stay independent as they grow older. However, many people consider themselves too old or too worn out to exercise, that was something they did when they were young,” says Richard

Hopkins of Physiotherapy Associates on Wainoni Road.

Regular exercise and physical activity can reduce the risk of some developing diseases and disabilities that develop as people grow older. In some cases, exercise is an e� ective treatment for many chronic conditions. For example, studies show that people with arthritis, heart disease or diabetes bene� t from regular exercise. Exercise also helps

people with high blood pressure, balance problems or di� culty walking.

One of the great things about physical activity and exercise is that there are so many ways to be active. For example, you can be active in short spurts throughout the day, or you can set aside speci� c times of the day on speci� c days of the week to exercise. Many physical activities, such as brisk walking, gardening or taking the stairs whenever you can,are free or low-cost and do not require special equipment. You could also check out local community walking, tai chi or exercise groups.

Make exercise/activity a priorityBeing active and exercising regularly can

change your life. Start slow and build up your stamina, strength and frequency. � e body’s capacity to adapt and improve with regular exercise diminishes little with age.

Start by assessing yourself and think about your goals over time. Don’t push yourself; keep to a comfortable range of joint motion and e� ort to being slightly pu� ed. Start where you’re comfortable, but

start. It’s all about starting and being your biggest cheerleader at every small step and turn.

Make it a game and keep a record of your daily activities on the calendar or in a diaryso you can track your progress. Reward yourself with a friend or family outing, a movie, a new book or just a little something that motivates you to stay on track and continue your health regime.

Don’t forget your food intake, when and where, how much you consume and the time of day all make a di� erence in your physical and mental health.

Remember to use it or lose it. Enjoy your senior years. See Richard or Wendy at Physiotherapy Associates on Wainoni Rd to help work out an activity programme that suits you best. More than 50 years of experience you can trust. Phone today 389 7196.

Dreams came true for rugby fans at Ronald McDonald House South Island, when the entire Crusaders squad paid a visit to the families who are staying at the facility.

The Rae family of Timaru, who are staying at the house while 11-year-old Brayden receives oncology treatment, were thrilled at the oppor-tunity to meet some of their sporting heroes.

“They were all just so kind, friendly and willing to talk to and play with the kids,” says mother Rebecca.

“They showed real concern for our family and they were interested in our journey,” she added.

Thirteen-year-old Lach-lan met his favourites, Sam Whitelock, Dan Carter and Tom Taylor. “I had a really good talk with them,” says Lachlan.

“They’re really nice and wished our family all the best.”

Crusaders and All Black, Sam Whitelock, was just as taken with the experience. “It was a special evening hanging out with these amazing kids and their fami-lies. I was blown away by how brave and inspirational these kids are and just to be able to put a smile on their faces meant everything to us.”

Crusaders light up families with visit

DRESSED UP: Kieran Read, Richie McCaw, Ronald McDonald House chief executive, Matthew Mark and Sam Whitelock.

WITH THE BIG BOYS: Zephaniah Teleah, 2 with David Havili, Nepo Laulala and Codie Taylor.

GETTING CREATIVE: Whitelock and Olivia Dyer, 13, making a thumb print tree, including prints from the Crusaders squad and children staying at the house, which wll be auctioned to raise funds.

Nothing’s more com-forting on a cold winter’s day than a

bowl of hot soup. There are thin and thick soups—thin to whet the appetite before a main course and thick ones that can be meals in them-selves.

The most famous thin soup in the world must be chicken soup, made by cook-ing chicken in stock or water. Once the chicken is cooked, it may be deboned and the meat returned to the soup or eaten separately. Vegetables, rice or noodles can be added to provide more body.

In the modern kitchen there are two types of thick soup: pureed and cream soups. Both get their thick-ness from starch.

The difference is that pu-reed soups are thickened with starch that comes from the main ingredient, such as po-

tatoes, pumpkin or legumes. Cream soups are made with vegetables without a lot of natural starch, like broccoli, mushrooms or asparagus. For these, you have to add starch, usually flour. Cream soups don’t have to contain cream. They just need to be the con-sistency of cream.

Bisques are a type of well-flavoured creamed soup, typi-cally made with crustaceans such as crayfish or prawns, but also with vegetables, as in tomato bisque. The ingredients are cooked in a broth, then pu-reed, strained and “creamed”. Traditional recipes use bread or rice to thicken bisques.

Chowders and gumbos are thick, distinctly American, soups made with milk or cream and usually a starchy vegetable such as corn or potato.

Gumbos are regional American soups from Loui-siana, thickened either with a very dark roux—a mixture of flour and fat that is cooked to a deep brown colour—okra or file powder made from dried sassafras leaves.

The many faces of winter soups

THAI CHICKEN SOUP A spicy chicken palate tingler.

2 tbsp rice bran oil 1 onion, diced 3 each: large garlic cloves, spring onions 500g skinned and boned chicken, thinly sliced 3-4 tbsp Thai green curry paste (or to taste) 400ml can light coconut milk 4 cups chicken stock 2 kaffir lime leaves 2 tbsp fish sauce 250g thinly sliced green beans TOPPING: ½ cup each, basil leaves, coriander leaves 4 tbsp lime juice

Heat oil in a large saucepan. Saute the onion until softened. Mean-while, crush garlic. Thinly slice the white ends of the spring on-ions. Finely chop the green ends.

Add garlic and chicken to the saucepan and stir-fry, until coloured. Stir in the curry paste. Add the coconut milk, stock, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce and white spring onion ends. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add beans and green spring onion ends and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely chop the basil and coriander and combine with the lime juice. Ladle the soup into bowls and add the topping just before serving. Serves 4

CREAMY PARSNIP SOUP Serves 4

1 onion, chopped 3 tbsp canola oil 2 cloves garlic chopped 600g parsnips, peeled and chopped 2 & ½ cups chicken stock 4 rashers bacon 300ml cream Salt and pepper to taste 2 tbsp each: lemon juice, chopped parsley

Q A&What’s the best way to cookbeef cheeks?Very slowly. Thiseconomical cut comes fromthe facial cheeks, and needslongmoist cooking to softenconnective tissue. Braisingand casseroling are suitablemethods. First, trim off

excess fat and silver skinthen allow a good threehours of gentle simmering.You can often substitutebeef cheeks for lamb shanksin recipes, noting that theaddition of slightly acidingredients like wine ortomato paste helps thetenderising process. If it’smore convenient, beefcheeks can be cooked aheadand reheated.

How can I stop my frozenyoghurt from going too hard?Take themixture from thefreezer before it has fullyfrozen and give it a vigorousstir once or twice to helpbreak up ice crystals; ateaspoon of gelatine

dissolved in water or fruitjuice can be added to helpstop ice crystals fromforming. Don’t aim to keepthe yoghurt in the freezerfor more than aweek ortwo, and soften in the fridge30minutes before serving.

WHY DO SO MANY DISHES CALLFOR AN ONION COOKED INBUTTER BEFORE THE MAINCOOKING?

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

onions are golden orcaramelised. Either way it’sworth it if you enjoy tastyfood. You can cut theamount of fat used bycovering the pot while youronion cooks— the lidcollects moisture thatwould normally evaporate,and by returning this to theonion, it avoids burning.

‘‘Whenharvested, theywerekeptexclusively forthe Incakings.

WHOwould havethought that thehumble spudwasonce regarded asboth a food and a

fashion accessory fit for royalty?Native to South America,

potatoes were first cultivated bythe Incas about 200BC. The jewelin the crownwas the Peruvianpurple potato— royally purpleinside and out.When harvested,theywere kept exclusively forthe Inca kings.And in 18th-century France,

Marie Antoinette made aWorldofWearable Art-type fashionstatement by parading aroundthe countryside wearing potatoblossoms on her expensivedresses.Whenmost of us think of

packet ‘‘chips’’ we tend to thinkof fatty, salty occasional treats.But I was recently pleasantly

surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are

different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between

the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly

common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins. They arealso versatile.We all love thetraditional potato favourites butthis week I’m serving upsomething funky— potatoeswith icecream, in chocolatetruffles, with squid and in agluten-free pastry.

About to head overseas, Delaney Davidson plays a free cabaret style concert at Gustav’s on Friday night. For this show Delaney says he will perform an evening of music tailored for the connoisseur. Slow Country Ballads, Waltzes, Epic Soundtrack Landscapes and his unique takes on several well known classics.“Expect memories and hypnosis, trance and the comfort of the familiar. The soothing ache of the Blues and the syrupy twang of the Country.”Seasonal as a migrating duck, Delaney is returning abroad to play a European circuit.

DELANEY DAVIDSONLIVE IN CONCERTGustav's (The Tannery, Garlands Rd, Woolston)Friday 29th May. Music starts 9pm.
