Life & StyleFood & WineWine ReviewsBack in late January, the family and I did a bit of a road trip around the South for our summer break, taking in not only some stretches of road that I’d never driven before, but also others that I hadn’t driven in ages. It is often easier to take the familiar path and the road best remembered.

They are super versatile and just when you think you have cooked or eaten them every way possible. Then you think to yourself why not stuff the whole cabbage with lots of delicious ingredients. Bake it until fragrant, golden and juicy. It is such an outstanding dish that it deserves to be served as the centrepiece of your dinner.

This is also when we celebrate Matariki in New Zealand. Twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades or Seven Sisters) signals the Māori New Year. The appearance of Matariki heralds a time of remembrance, joy, and peace, and is an opportunity to come together and celebrate.
