The full food pod squad assembles to talk about fine dining, Valentine’s Day dining and summer dining, including the location of the alleged best fish and chip shop in Aotearoa.
Join Sophie, Simon and Alice as they reminisce about Antoine’s (02:00), the recently closed Auckland fine dining institution where only one of them ever actually ate. Seems like it would have been a good place to celebrate Valentine’s Day (09:55) – or is that day better spent hooning oysters with the gals? Simon reckons he’s found the best fish and chips in New Zealand (19:43), Sophie met a sourdough guy with the perfect sourdough guy name (32:14) and much more. Plus, find out how to get a free homemade mince and cheese pie from Simon.

Sophie Gilmour and Simon Day are joined by special guest Hugo Baird, co-owner of Grey Lynn’s Honey Bones and Lilian, to talk about opening new pub Hotel Ponsonby.
Auckland is a city of many bars but few really good pubs – the kind of places you’d be just as comfortable going with your parents as you would with your mates, on a Saturday night or for a Sunday lunch. The kind of place you can call your local.
Hugo Baird set out to change that when he opened Hotel Ponsonby in the Ponsonby Post Office building late in 2020. The man behind some of Simon’s favourite spots, Hugo opened his first cafe Crumb when he was just 24, and now runs and owns Honey Bones cafe and neighbouring Lilian osteria and wine bar in Grey Lynn with his business partners Willy Gresson and chef Otis Gardner Schapiro.
He joined Sophie and Simon for the first Dietary Requirements of 2021 for a chat about what makes a good pub, opening one of his own, cursed hospo spots and the chaotic year that’s been.

Dietary Requirement is taking a break over summer. We'll be back soon, but until then we're republishing some of our favourite episodes of 2020. This week: Monique Fiso joins us to talk Kai Māori.
Calling Monique Fiso’s new book a cookbook doesn’t really do it justice – there's so much more to it, tracing her personal journey and charting the history of kai Māori as well as guiding readers on how to incorporate indigenous ingredients and techniques into their own cooking.
The book is titled Hiakai, also the name of Fiso’s Wellington restaurant which was last year included in a Time magazine list of The World’s 100 Greatest Places, among many other honours. Before opening Hiakai in 2018, she worked at some of New York’s best restaurants, and recently appeared on shows like Netflix’s The Final Table and National Geographic’s Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.
Since opening Hiakai, Fiso has been at the forefront of the revitalisation and celebration of kai Māori, and writing and researching the book allowed her to delve further into the techniques and ingredients of our indigenous culture. She joined Simon Day, Alice Neville and Sophie Gilmour on this week’s Dietary Requirements for a chat about it.

Dietary Requirement is taking a break over the summer holidays. We'll be back in the new year, but until then we're we're republishing some of our favourite interviews of 2020. This week: Henry Oliver joined us to talk the lockdown sourdough phenomenon.
What are we talking about when we talk about sourdough? It’s basically just flour and water, but it’s so much more than that. To help unpack the lockdown sourdough phenomenon, former (and future) Metro editor and friend of the pod Henry Oliver joined regular Dietary Requirements hosts Simon Day, Alice Neville and Sophie Gilmour for this month’s episode.
Henry got into making sourdough in a big way back in level four, and ended up publishing a whole book about it as part of Objectspace’s Ockham Lectures Pocket Edition series. Who better to taste-test Alice’s latest attempt, judge the quality of the crumb(?) and share tips on how to keep your starter alive and kicking? What qualities are we looking for in a good sourdough, and who sells the best loaf in New Zealand?
There’s also a bit of mag chat around the sudden end and recently-announced resurrection of Metro magazine, and some discussion around the huge impact Covid-19 is having on the hospitality industry, and what needs to be done to keep the country’s eateries and drinkeries afloat.

The pod squad gathers for the last time to commiserate and celebrate the best food and drink of 2020.
In the final episode of the year Sophie, Alice and Simon share their culinary highlights and lowlights from a year that had nearly everything. It started with Simon and Sophie adding children to their lives – and a breast milk taste test – and it ended with the hospitality industry hanging by a thread. Through it all we saw exciting innovation from restaurants, cafes and bars, as they tried to stay afloat through Covid-19.
We desperately missed our cafe coffee and watched sourdough baking take off through lockdown. When we escaped from our homes we rediscovered our old favourites and new places around the country making delicious food. Finally, to end the year we have a book to give away: Beyond the Vines: The Changing Landscape of Wine in Aotearoa New Zealand by Jules van Costello. Beyond the Vines tells the stories of 65 of the country’s most exciting and innovative producers, and looks at the history and future of the wine regions as well as the 50+ grape varieties New Zealand grows.
