Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

This week Janet Wilson and Jack Tame talk about the loss of broadcaster Greg Boyd, the annual returns of Sky TV and TVNZ AND the meaning behind BDE!
 

Master of Wine Bob Campbell talks to Jack about his Best Buy of the week, Framingham “Nobody’s Hero” Pinot Noir.  
Attractive lifted aroma of violets and ripe cherries leads to a cherry/berry and spice flavours on the palate. Light, crisp and tangy Pinot Noir with surprising power and length. Silken-textured wine that’s clearly been made with a light touch.
Retails for around $19.99

US correspondent Paul Stenhouse talks to Jack about a neat new site that helps you find a book related to the place you're holidaying in. 
It's a community project so they want people to get involved.. If you have a great book that's set in a place people might want to visit, then add it!

Inspired by a dish I ate at wonderful restaurant (Barulho in Parnell, Auckland) I invite you to take advantage of the end of season Brussels sprouts. They’re sooooooo good!
Handful of currants
Bacon – good quality streaky
Garlic  - sliced into slivers
Pine nuts
Brussels sprouts
Olive oil
Chilli flakes (optional)
Orange zest
Salt & pepper to season
Lemon juice
 

Soak currants in boiling water.
Dice bacon and fry until some bits are crispy. Add garlic slivers and fry until golden. Add pine nuts and cook until lightly toasted.
Shred or thinly slice brussels sprouts using either a mandolin or a sharp knife. Toss with fingers so they separate and add to pan. Add splash of olive oil and fry briefly until softened slightly. Add chilli flakes if using.
Add zest, salt and freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve up into bowls.

Brussels sprouts are so good for you. Here’s why:

They are high in vitamin K - Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting, bone structure and heart function
A serving of Brussels sprouts provides 129% DV for vitamin C - Vitamin C is an antioxidant and builds collagen to form healthy skin tissue
Brussels sprouts provide many B vitamins and 4g fibre - essential for healthy bowel movement, providing satiety and keep cholesterol levelsin check
Cruciferous vegetables contain sulphur which is a known anti-inflammatory, just be sure not to overcook them
