Simon’s five favourite things for May

MALDON 
SMOKED SEA SALT

This salt has a wonderfully strong smell but a lovely subtle smoky flavour that enhances, rather than overpowers, food.

KITCHENAID 
FOOD MIXER

Not only do they look great and come in funky colours, they’re the perfect size for cooking at home. Strong enough to make bread dough; fast enough to whip egg whites.

KOHU ROAD 
ICE-CREAM

This ice-cream is free from preservatives, flavourings and enhancers and tastes like 
ice-cream should.

BLUFF OYSTERS

A national delicacy. 
With the season now in full swing, enjoy these oysters while you can.

BHANA BROS, PONSONBY ROAD

A great shop for exotic fruits and vegetables, deli goods and beautiful flowers.
