Celebrate Matariki with<br />
Tīrama Mai light show<br />
CHECK OUT new<br />
commissioned artworks, take<br />
home a free tree, and soak<br />
in the city sights illuminated<br />
by Tīrama Mai this Puaka-<br />
Matariki.<br />
The city council’s annual<br />
Tīrama Mai event starts at the<br />
weekend, celebrating Puaka-<br />
Matariki in the heart of the city.<br />
Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Art<br />
Centre, Te Pae and Riverside<br />
Market will feature a range of<br />
art and lighting installations<br />
each evening from 5pm until<br />
10pm, from tomorrow until<br />
Sunday, <strong>June</strong> 30.<br />
City council manager of<br />
events and arts Lucy Blackmore<br />
said the annual event, which<br />
celebrates the Puaka and Matariki<br />
stars through art and light<br />
installations, projections, music<br />
soundscapes and storytelling is<br />
always evolving with new commissioned<br />
works.<br />
“An installation of<br />
Papatūānuku, titled MOTHER,<br />
will stand four metres high and<br />
two metres wide, featuring a<br />
stunning design by Xoë Hall, lit<br />
up from inside,” Blackmore said.<br />
It will be in the North Quad of<br />
The Art Centre.<br />
“We’ve also partnered with<br />
Trees for Canterbury to give<br />
away <strong>20</strong>00 small native trees<br />
over the festival. Planting a new<br />
tree in your backyard is a great<br />
way to celebrate the time of<br />
renewal that Te Tau Hou (the<br />
Māori New Year) brings, and we<br />
encourage people to take up this<br />
opportunity.”<br />
On select nights, the giveaway<br />
will be based in front of Te<br />
Pae.<br />
Te Pae has close to 10 installations,<br />
including new lightbox<br />
artworks and a projection animation<br />
by Ariki Creative.<br />
“Other giveaways during the<br />
festival include light-up yo-yos<br />
from our sponsor, Orion, for the<br />
young and young of heart, and<br />
a free sausage sizzle run by The<br />
Hits FM,” Blackmore said.<br />
There will also be storytelling<br />
and kapa haka performances on<br />
select nights. The “test night” for<br />
Tirama Mai is this evening.<br />
The Arts Centre will be<br />
hosting a number of events,<br />
including Te Waiatatanga Mai<br />
o Te Atua (Song of the Gods),<br />
a brand-new exhibition at the<br />
Observatory tower which tells a<br />
version of the Ngāi Tahu creation<br />
story, as written down in<br />
1849 by Matiaha Tiramōrehu.<br />
The Matariki Midwinter<br />
Celebration invites attendees to<br />
honour a loved one who made<br />
a significant impact this year,<br />
while the two-night Garden<br />
City Mākete will feature local<br />
artisans, live performances, and<br />
food offerings. There will also be<br />
kapa haka in the Great Hall.<br />

Matariki<br />
Matariki, the Māori<br />
New Year, is a time of<br />
cultural and spiritual<br />
significance. The<br />
annual event marks<br />
the appearance of<br />
the Matariki star<br />
cluster, also known as<br />
Pleiades, in the early<br />
morning sky.<br />
When these nine<br />
stars become visible, it<br />
signifies the start of a<br />
new year in the Māori<br />
lunar calendar.<br />
Matariki comes<br />
from the phrase<br />
“Ngā mata o te ariki<br />
Tāwhirimātea”, “the<br />
eyes of the god<br />
Tāwhirimātea” and<br />
translates to “little<br />
eyes”, highlighting the<br />
stars’ role as important<br />
markers of time and<br />
seasonal change.<br />
The exact date<br />
varies each year, as it<br />
is determined by the<br />
appearance of the<br />
Matariki star cluster in<br />
the predawn sky.<br />

public holiday lands on<br />

Confusing roadworks information<br />
sees new idea floated at meeting<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A NEW system for giving<br />
the public advance notice of<br />
roadworks closures in Banks<br />
Peninsula has been floated, as a<br />
result of recent confusion.<br />
In the past three months, there<br />
have been three maintenance<br />
roadworks closures on Governors<br />
Bay Rd, one in March and two in<br />
May.<br />
Governors Bay Community<br />
Association chair John Bannock<br />
said residents have been confused<br />
by conflicting information<br />
displayed on the city council<br />
website and roadside signage.<br />
“They’re very rarely saying the<br />
same thing. So that’s set up an air<br />
of confusion straight away.”<br />
Bannock has suggested putting<br />
city council staff in charge of<br />
communications during maintenance<br />
on critical routes, like<br />
Governors Bay Rd.<br />
Currently, when there are major<br />
roadworks, city council staff are<br />
in charge of communicating with<br />
the public. When there<br />
are maintenance works,<br />
contractors are in charge of<br />
communications.<br />
Bannock believes city council<br />
staff with a better knowledge<br />
of affected communities’ needs<br />
should deliver communications<br />
on these routes, rather than contractors.<br />
“I don’t think a contractor<br />
working out of Lyttelton would<br />
consider that Diamond Harbour<br />
and Port Levy would be affected<br />
parties,” Bannock said.<br />
He said having the contractor<br />
communicating road closures for<br />
maintenance work gave them too<br />
much workload.<br />
However, city council head of<br />
transport Lynette Ellis said her<br />
team has “full confidence” in contractors’<br />
abilities to deliver effective<br />
communications to residents.<br />
She said the Governors Bay<br />
resurfacing work in May “was no<br />
exception”.<br />
“Our maintenance contractors<br />
work on approximately 2415<br />
projects a year across the entire<br />
network, therefore if council is to<br />
manage all communications for<br />
this work we need to rely on our<br />
contractor teams.”<br />
Ellis declined to comment on<br />
the merits of giving council staff<br />
responsibility over communications<br />
for critical routes only.<br />
Bannock feels the transport<br />
team is missing his point.<br />
“I think it’s unreasonable to<br />
expect contractors to determine<br />
the extent of contacts required for<br />
some roads.”<br />
He voiced his concerns at the<br />
Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
meeting on <strong>June</strong> 10.<br />
“I really think that the council<br />
needs to understand that the<br />
Banks Peninsula area isn’t a town.<br />
We don’t have multiple detour<br />
options.”<br />
The community board requested<br />
staff advice regarding<br />
community notifications.<br />
Bannock hopes the community<br />
board investigation process will<br />
change the minds of the transport<br />
team.<br />
He also said communications<br />
through more channels would<br />
help the affected residents better<br />
adapt their personal schedules.<br />
“Even a poster in the typical<br />
places people visit would be a big<br />
help.”<br />
On the Governors Bay Community<br />
Facebook page, residents<br />
said signage about recent closures<br />
differed from information they<br />
had received in a flier.<br />
Banks Peninsula city councillor<br />
Tyrone Fields did not have a view<br />
on Bannock’s idea, but believed<br />
staff would find a solution.<br />
CONFLICTING: Residents were confused to see this<br />
sign last month indicating Governors Bay Rd would be<br />
closed daily from May 13 to <strong>June</strong> 17. On the Governors<br />
Bay Community Facebook page, residents said the dates<br />
differed from those in a flier they received.<br />

The Ritual Effect by Michael Norton<br />
The Transformative Power of Our Everyday Actions<br />
In this ground-breaking and inspiring guide, a renowned Harvard psychologist<br />
demonstrates how turning everyday habits into rituals can improve our work, our<br />
relationships and our lives. These rituals- practices are imbued with symbolic<br />
meaning. And they have the power to turn black-and-white moments into<br />
technicolour. Along the way, Norton shares stories from sporting superstars (Serena<br />
Williams always bouncing the ball five times before her first serve) Rituals can help<br />
us to forge winning teams, heal families experiencing grief and encourage us rise to<br />
challenges, big or small. Now it’s time to create yours.<br />
The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club<br />
By Helen Simonson<br />
The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club captures the ambitions, The<br />
Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club captures the ambitions, frustrations,<br />
and inevitable tragedies of women and men emerging from the Great War. After the<br />
war as the country prepares to celebrate its hard-won peace, Constance and the<br />
women of the club are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms they gained<br />
during the war are being revoked. With sharp humor, biting wit, and a warm heart,<br />
Simonson captures the mood of a generation facing the seismic changes brought on<br />
by war. This book is a timeless comedy of manners, refreshing as a summer breeze<br />
and bracing as the British seaside.<br />

Teachers run to raise funds for sick mum<br />
• By Jessie Curran<br />
TWO TEACHERS raised more<br />
than $1000 a day for each day<br />
they pounded the pavement.<br />
Thomas Tennent, of<br />
Cashmere, and Daniel Kahura,<br />
of Yaldhurst, ran 21km before<br />
work for 21 days to support<br />
Kahura’s sister, Kylie Kahura,<br />
who has stage 4B Hodgkin<br />
lymphoma.<br />
Kahura and Tennent both<br />
attended and now teach at St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College.<br />
Kylie, 35, a mother of four,<br />
received her diagnosis in <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
Despite the all-clear after<br />
chemotherapy, her cancer<br />
returned with increased<br />
aggression late last year.<br />
“Now it’s just a waiting game,”<br />
said Kylie, who awaits further<br />
scans after she completed<br />
another round of chemotherapy,<br />
blood transfusions, and a stem<br />
cell transplant.<br />
The Sockburn resident is now<br />
enjoying spending time with her<br />
family.<br />
She said she was “truly blown<br />
away” by the support from the<br />
pair and wider community.<br />
“I am just so grateful and<br />
blessed,” she said.<br />
Tennent, 33, proposed the<br />
idea to Kahura after reading<br />
a book by ultra-runner Ned<br />
Brockmann.<br />
“I was not an ultra-runner<br />
by any means, but I wanted to<br />
do something to make other<br />
FINISHED: Daniel Tennent, right, and Daniel Kahura, back left, meet Kylie Kahura and her<br />
children PepaMo’ale, Eli Mo’ale, and Faith Mo’ale at the finish line of the final stint.<br />
people’s lives better,” he said.<br />
Supported by family, friends,<br />
and the wider community, the<br />
pair trained for eight weeks<br />
before their first run on April 1.<br />
In the two months that<br />
followed, the high-school friends<br />
raised $22,000 through private<br />
donations and their Givealittle<br />
page.<br />
Kahura, 30, said he was<br />
thankful for the support and<br />
generosity of the community.<br />
“I feel super blessed for the<br />
people who have shown their<br />
love and donated to help support<br />
my family.”<br />
But going into the running<br />
challenge, the pair were not<br />
without their doubts.<br />
“I knew doing them back-toback<br />
was going to be tough,”<br />
said Kahura, who feared<br />
he would fail the challenge<br />
after he experienced serious<br />
achilles tendon and lower back<br />
problems.<br />
Tennent, who gave up many<br />
hours of sleep and time with<br />
family, even experienced a<br />
severe case of rhabdo one week<br />
after finishing the last run.<br />
Rhabdo is when muscle<br />
breaks down, releasing contents<br />
into the bloodstream that can be<br />
life threatening if left untreated.<br />
“We made sacrifices and went<br />
through hard times to help<br />
someone who’s going through<br />
harder times than us,” said<br />
Tennent.<br />
He has now recovered.<br />
Craig Watson, head of<br />
supportive care for the Cancer<br />
Society Canterbury West Coast<br />
and Otago Southland, said the<br />
financial burden on families<br />
after diagnosis is significant.<br />
“I know of people refusing<br />
treatment because they have had<br />
to choose between travelling to<br />
treatment, or putting food on<br />
the table for their families,” said<br />
Watson.<br />
He said community support<br />
was vital to get families through<br />
a diagnosis.<br />
Kahura and Tennent said<br />
they were thankful they had<br />
experienced the of power of<br />
people.<br />
“It’s important to celebrate the<br />
small wins,” said Kahura.<br />
Celebrating Thirty Years of Community Service<br />
<strong>20</strong>24 is a special year for Christchurch South<br />
Community Patrol. It marks thirty years of<br />
working with the police and members of the<br />
community to make Christchurch a safer place.<br />
The patrol’s vehicle with its distinctive livery<br />
and number plate can be seen at Z Addingtonwhen<br />
it is not on patrol.<br />
Christchurch South is one of eight community<br />
patrols in the Christchurch metro area, and<br />
is part of a nationwide organization called<br />
CPNZ which ensures that all patrols and their<br />
patrollers are trained and operate in a safe way.<br />
The patrol is out and about monitoring the city<br />
streets and carparks day and night six days a<br />
week.<br />
Each patrol is planned. Patrollers use<br />
information from the community and from<br />
the police to plan their route. Their key task<br />
is to observe, record and report- to be the<br />
additional eyes and ears for the police,<br />
noting the little things that may form part of a<br />
larger picture. The patrol provides additional<br />
security in surrounding areas when major<br />
events are held at locations such as Apollo<br />
Projects Stadium, the A & P Showgrounds<br />
and Hagley Park. Christchurch South is also<br />
trained and equipped to respond to personal<br />
and community emergencies. In the past six<br />
months, patrollers have assisted at the scenes<br />
of traffic accidents, crime scenes and fires.<br />
During the Port Hills fire in March, the patrol<br />
helped the police man the cordons controlling<br />
access to the affected area.<br />
Community Patrols have an expanding<br />
relationship with the police, a relationship<br />
that is growing in importance as the police<br />
seek to significantly increase their numbers.<br />
Police recruits are encouraged to join a patrol<br />
while under-going their selection and pretraining<br />
process. Currently Christchurch South<br />
has three police recruits as part of its team.<br />
Patrolling gives the police of the future the<br />
opportunity to practice some of the basic skills<br />
they will need when fully fledged members of<br />
the Force.<br />
During National Volunteer Week, Christchurch<br />
South will have a display at Barrington Mall<br />
between 10.00am and 3.00pm on Friday 21<br />
and Saturday 22 <strong>June</strong>. Call by and see what<br />
we do. If you are interested in joining the patrol<br />
or supporting it in any way, contact Ken on 027<br />

CPNZ.org.nz. If you want to see more about<br />
what we do, check out our Facebook page.<br />

Mental health mission for Tama the Tui<br />
• By Emily O’Hagan<br />
THE AUTHOR behind a new<br />
children’s book, Tama the Tui has<br />
been down for a while hopes it will<br />
encourage children to open up<br />
when they feel “sad and blue”.<br />
The book, written by Alvante<br />
Harris and illustrated by Maria<br />
Carroll, follows the journey of<br />
Tama the young tui who is feeling<br />
down but learns to share his<br />
feelings with friends and family.<br />
Harris shared his book with<br />
pupils from Our Lady of the<br />
Assumption School in Hoon Hay.<br />
Harris hopes it will encourage<br />
children to share their feelings.<br />
“Not only will it give them the<br />
tools to open up, but it might even<br />
give them the tools to be able to<br />
support people when they need to.<br />
“So, if a friend does open up to<br />
them that they’re not feeling so<br />
good, they’ll have the tools they<br />
need to actually be able to help<br />
them and support them through<br />
that,” he said.<br />
It is the first book Harris has<br />
written after completing his first<br />
draft in <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
He admits mental health is<br />
a difficult topic to discuss in<br />
New Zealand, but believes it is<br />
important for kids to learn about.<br />
“One thing that’s been common<br />
throughout my life, throughout<br />
my friends and family, is people<br />
aren’t very good at opening up<br />
and talking about their feelings,”<br />
Harris said.<br />
“So I figured that if you write a<br />

has been down for a while with pupils from Our Lady of<br />
the Assumption School who had plenty of questions for<br />

PHOTOS: EMILY O’HAGAN<br />
book for kids, then they can learn<br />
early and get the tools they need<br />
to be able to open up when they<br />
need to.”<br />
And the idea seems to be working.<br />
He received positive responses<br />
from pupils who clearly<br />
understood its meaning.<br />
“Always tell someone when<br />
you’re sad so then they know.<br />
“I liked that Tama was sad and<br />
then his dad said to talk about his<br />
feelings and then he felt a lot more<br />
better,” one pupil said.<br />
Harris has also started an<br />
initiative to help spread his<br />
important message. For every<br />
four books he sells, he’ll donate<br />
another to an organisation,<br />
school, or mental health worker<br />
who could benefit from it.<br />
He has ideas for future stories<br />
but said his first priority will be<br />
getting Tama the Tui translated<br />

Mid-winter plunge all for a good cause<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A DARING group jumped into<br />
the wintry water of Governors<br />
Bay to help pay for its jetty<br />
restoration.<br />
Sunday’s relatively warm<br />
weather was encouraging for the<br />
45 jumpers who raised $<strong>20</strong>77<br />
for the cause.<br />
Jetty Trust secretary Louisa<br />
Eades is pleased the mid-winter<br />
jetty jump and swim met its<br />
funding goal.<br />
“There was a lot of whooping<br />
and excitement when people got<br />
out of the water. It feels really<br />
good to get in the water and get<br />
out again,” she said.<br />
Some participants showed<br />
their enthusiasm by jumping in<br />
multiple times.<br />
“We were really lucky with the<br />
weather. The sun came out and<br />
it was actually a really beautiful<br />
day,” Eades said.<br />
Members from the Canterbury<br />
Open Water Swimming<br />
Association also swam to the<br />
buoy in the bay after their jump.<br />
Eades and Jetty Trust chair<br />
Prue Miller also had a go,<br />
jumping off the jetty dressed as<br />
Superwoman.<br />
“It was actually nowhere near<br />
as bad as I thought,” said Eades.<br />
After the jump, participants<br />
were treated to a well-earned<br />
sausage sizzle with hot drinks<br />
while they dried off.<br />
The jetty trust has $465,000<br />
left to pay on its loan from the<br />
city council, which helped fund<br />
the rebuild.<br />
If the city council includes<br />
funding for the jetty in its final<br />
Long Term Plan, the loan will<br />
decrease to $240,000.<br />
• Donations can be<br />
made to support the jetty<br />
rebuild until <strong>June</strong> 30 at<br />

TEAMWORK: Louisa<br />
Eades and Prue Miller<br />
were among the 45 jetty<br />
jumpers.<br />
Sorry we’re in your way<br />
Expect delays at the<br />
Dyers Pass/Colombo roundabout<br />
We’re making the roundabout way safer for<br />
everyone. Improvements will include pedestrian<br />
crossings, new road markings and safe speed<br />
platforms.<br />
In addition to these safety improvements, we’re currently<br />
making critical and unforeseen repairs to wastewater pipes.<br />
Work will be completed by late July.<br />
We know road works are disruptive for you. We’ll work hard to<br />
minimise disruption and keep traffic flowing.<br />

Red zone work a fun escape from class<br />
NURTURING nature in the red<br />
zone is where you’ll find George<br />
and Emma each week.<br />
Rain or shine, the pair spend<br />
their Friday mornings mulching,<br />
uncovering hidden plants<br />
and picking up rubbish in the<br />
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.<br />
George and Emma belong to<br />
Riccarton High’s Kohanga Ako<br />
class, which is purpose built for<br />
students with special education<br />
needs.<br />
As part of the class’s work<br />
experience programme, the<br />
students collaborate with<br />
the city council parks team,<br />
volunteering their time and<br />
contributing to the red zone<br />
regeneration.<br />
Twenty-year-old George,<br />
who started volunteering due<br />
to his passion for the outdoors,<br />
has an eagle eye for spotting<br />
small pieces of rubbish to be<br />
collected or plants in need of<br />
releasing.<br />
“It’s cool to get away from<br />
the classroom and spend time<br />
outside,” George said.<br />
“I like using the parks tools to<br />
pick up rubbish, it makes it a lot<br />
easier to keep the place clean.”<br />
Eighteen-year-old Emma, on<br />
A DESERTED residential<br />
playground has been brought<br />
back to life as a sensory nature<br />
play park.<br />
Te Kohanga Taiao Sensory<br />
Nature Play Park opened last<br />
weekend on Brooker Ave in the<br />
red zone after two businesses –<br />
Hummingbird Coffee and The<br />
Green Lab – teamed up to work<br />
with the city council on the<br />
project.<br />
Nestled within restoration<br />
plantings thanks to the efforts<br />
of Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park<br />
Trust, the new park aims to<br />
serve as an educational hub and<br />
a nature haven to encourage<br />
a deeper connection with the<br />
environment.<br />
Its design encourages children<br />
to discover nature by feeling<br />

the other hand, has developed a<br />
keen love for the environment<br />
and after months of practice has<br />
mastered the art of mulching.<br />
“I search for treasure when<br />
I’m looking around too, but so<br />
New sensory park a<br />
space to inspire play<br />
different textures of leaves and<br />
wood, to smell a variety of native<br />
plant aromas, and listen for the<br />
variety in natural sounds like<br />
tapping on wood and rustling<br />
leaves.<br />
“This kind of opportunity<br />
to invent play, to utilise<br />
found materials and discover<br />
interesting spaces to play<br />
are really important for our<br />
children’s sense of independence,<br />
creativity and confidence,” said<br />
city council play advocate Louise<br />
Van Tongeren.<br />
“The play spaces are<br />
deliberately set up to inspire<br />
children to head off and explore,<br />
without being overly prescriptive<br />
about what to actually do.”<br />
Children learn through all<br />
of their senses – for some that<br />
far have just come across old<br />
concrete,” Emma said.<br />
Learning on the job is all part<br />
of the experience, as the students<br />
develop skills and experience to<br />
help them into the work force.<br />
is running and climbing and<br />
others may learn better through<br />
sensory elements, Van Tongeren<br />
said.<br />
“When we provide spaces<br />
that allow for other kinds of<br />
exploration, including calmer<br />
play experiences, we are being<br />
much more inclusive of a wider<br />
range of needs within our<br />
community.”<br />
Last year, the pair brought<br />
the full Kohanga Ako class<br />
down to help with planting<br />
season, proudly showing their<br />
classmates around the area.<br />

Once a former residential area,<br />
the park is now home to multiple<br />
wētā ‘hotels’ and ‘apartments’<br />
made at workshops held at<br />
Phillipstown Community Hub.<br />
These are warm and dry spaces<br />
where ecologically important<br />
native wētā, bees and wasps can<br />
keep safe from predators like rats<br />
and birds.<br />
The park has been designed<br />
partnership ranger Sarah<br />
Mankelow says the work is<br />
a two-way street, providing<br />
valuable experience while<br />
regenerating the area.<br />
“It’s a huge help for us having<br />
these students work in the<br />
ŌARC, and after months on<br />
site they’re experienced enough<br />
that they can occasionally work<br />
unsupervised,” Mankelow said.<br />
“Maintenance is such an<br />
important part of red zone<br />
regeneration, and we’re<br />
grateful to have a helping hand<br />
while providing workplace<br />
experience.”<br />
Maintenance days are<br />
advertised on the city council’s<br />
website, and the council is<br />
always looking for volunteers to<br />
help.<br />
to significantly increase and<br />
encourage the biodiversity of the<br />
area.<br />
A recent ‘bioblitz’ held at the<br />
site as part of the City Nature<br />
Challenge uncovered more than<br />
100 different species of plants,<br />
insects, spiders and fish in just a<br />
few hours.<br />
Council community<br />
partnership and residential<br />
redzone ranger Sarah Mankelow<br />
says the Avon Ōtākaro River<br />
corridor will be a green spine<br />
that stretches from the city to<br />
the sea.<br />
“The opportunity to restore<br />
and protect the river that runs<br />
through the heart of our city and<br />
plan ahead for climate change is<br />
a once in a lifetime opportunity.<br />
“Created for community by<br />
community, it is a beautiful<br />
space for all ages and abilities to<br />
picnic, play and enjoy.”<br />
The Avon-Ōtākaro Forest<br />
Park Trust will take on the<br />
kaitiaki role of ongoing care and<br />
maintenance of the play space.<br />

Fresh flavours to keep out the cold<br />
A chill in the air calls for<br />
something warming,<br />
writes Nigel Slater<br />
Coppa, fig and gorgonzola<br />
tarts<br />
One of the ready-rolled frozen<br />
pastry sheets works perfectly<br />
here. If you don’t have coppa, use<br />
thin slices of pancetta, torn into<br />
stamp-sized pieces. The tarts are<br />
at their best when eaten straight<br />
from the oven, while the cheese is<br />
still soft and melting. A few salad<br />
leaves would be good on the side.<br />
Ingredients<br />
Makes 4 tarts<br />
3<strong>20</strong>g puff pastry<br />
4 figs<br />
250g mozzarella<br />
<strong>20</strong>0g gorgonzola<br />
4 heaped Tbsp creme fraiche<br />
2 Tbsp thyme leaves<br />
80g coppa<br />
a little beaten egg<br />
Method<br />
• Line a baking sheet with<br />
parchment. Preheat the oven to<br />
2<strong>20</strong>°C. Roll the pastry out to a<br />
rectangle roughly 36cm x 23cm.<br />
With the longest side towards<br />
you, cut down into 4 rectangles,<br />
measuring 9cm x 23cm. Place<br />
each one on the parchment-lined<br />
baking sheet. Using a sharp<br />
knife, score a second rectangle<br />
inside each one, leaving a 1.5cm<br />
rim around the edges, taking<br />
care not to cut through the<br />
pastry. Chill in the fridge for<br />
<strong>20</strong> minutes. (This prevents the<br />
pastry from shrinking in the<br />
oven.)<br />
• Cut each fig into 6 wedges.<br />
Tear the mozzarella and<br />
gorgonzola into small pieces and<br />
drop them into a bowl. Add the<br />
creme fraiche, the thyme leaves<br />
and a grinding or two of black<br />
pepper.<br />
• Bake the pastry in the<br />
preheated oven for 8 minutes<br />
until it is just starting to colour<br />
and crisp. Remove from the oven<br />
and, using the back of a teaspoon,<br />
push the inner rectangle of<br />
pastry down to form a hollow.<br />
• Spoon the filling into the<br />
hollows, tucking pieces of coppa<br />
and slices of fig into the filling.<br />
Brush the pastry rim of the tarts<br />
with a little of the beaten egg,<br />
taking care not to let it run down<br />
the sides of the pastry.<br />
• Return the tarts to the oven<br />
and bake them for a further<br />
10-15 minutes, until the pastry<br />
is crisp and golden. Eat straight<br />
away, while they are still warm.<br />
French beans and cabbage<br />
Lovely lemony, mustard and basil<br />
notes going on here. This would<br />
be good with the tarts above,<br />
but would also work as a main<br />
course salad, especially if you<br />
introduce some smoked mackerel<br />
or mussels, steamed and pulled<br />
from their shells.<br />
I like to use one of the pointed<br />
spring cabbages, though a crisp<br />
round white cabbage is also<br />
fine. I leave the darker, crinklyleaved<br />
Savoy types for the winter<br />
months. This is a salad I like<br />
to serve just warm rather than<br />
chilled, when the flavours are<br />
at their fullest. The beans need<br />
their stems removing, but not<br />
the tender, curving points that<br />
make these late-season beans so<br />
elegant.<br />
Ingredients<br />
Serves 4 as side dish<br />
250g French (haricot) beans<br />
450g cabbage<br />
50g hazelnuts<br />
2 Tbsp tarragon leaves<br />
10 medium-sized basil leaves<br />
Dressing<br />
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard<br />
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar<br />
1 Tbsp lemon juice<br />
1 tsp honey<br />
150ml olive oil<br />
Method<br />
• Make the dressing first. Put the<br />
mustard in a small bowl, then<br />
stir in the red wine vinegar and<br />
lemon juice, honey and a good<br />
pinch of sea salt, then beat in<br />
the olive oil, either with a fork or<br />
small whisk. Set aside.<br />
• In a dry, shallow pan, toast<br />
the hazelnuts over a low to<br />
moderate heat, moving them<br />
around the pan so they colour<br />
evenly. When they are toasted<br />
and fragrant, remove from the<br />
heat and roughly chop. Then<br />
chop the tarragon leaves and<br />
basil and stir together with the<br />
hazelnuts into the dressing.<br />
• Bring a deep pan of water<br />
to the boil and salt it lightly.<br />
Remove the stalk and (if you<br />
wish) the pointed tips of the<br />
beans. Drop the beans into the<br />
boiling water and let them cook<br />
for 3 or 4 minutes until they<br />
have darkened and will gently<br />
bend without snapping. Remove<br />
the beans from the water with a<br />
draining spoon and set aside. Let<br />
the water come back to the boil.<br />
• Shred the cabbage into fingerthick<br />
strips, removing the core<br />
as you go, wash under running<br />
water, then drop into boiling<br />
water. Leave to cook for 1 minute,<br />
then drain into a colander, shake<br />
dry and add to the beans. (Make<br />
sure to shake the cabbage well,<br />
so the dressing does not become<br />
diluted.)<br />
• Toss the beans and cabbage<br />
with the dressing and pile<br />
generously on to a serving dish.<br />
