How a trip to Spain inspired a cookbook
Supplied: Bateman Books
We all lament the end of a holiday and the return to normality - but one of my next guests found a novel way to keep the spirit of her trip alive.
Melanie Jenkins and her friend Claudia Kozub had a blast in Spain, admiring Gaudi's architecture in Barcelona and the streets of Ibiza's old town.
Then there was the food.... As a photographer, Mel had well documented what she saw over there.
Her friend, food writer and stylist Jo Wilcox, was intrigued - the result is a collaboration between the pair called 'Take Me to Spain'.
It's chock-full of the flavoursome Spanish fare - from Patatas Bravas, paellla and boiled orange and olive oil cake - to a sangria cocktail with a simple tapas side.
They both join Kathryn to talk about why the book is a passport to the flavours and friendships of Spain.

Spanish playgroup takes root in Wānaka
Ana Estefania Kim is Korean by blood, was born and raised in Buenos Aires, completed her studies in Los Angeles and is now raising her daughters in Wānaka. Her journey is proof that cultural identity is fluid and cannot be confined to a single restrictive label, a sentiment she aims to pass down to young children in Wānaka through a Spanish playgroup she recently helped start. Her diverse story began even before she was born. The aftermath of the 1950s Korean War pushed Ms Kim's grandparents to Argentina during a time when South America was seeking rural workers. Her parents, both Korean, met in Argentina and started a family in Buenos Aires. Ms Kim grew up speaking Spanish at school and Korean at home, which was only the beginning of a life enriched with diversity. During the early 2000s, life in Argentina became more difficult and Ms Kim's parents searched for a better future. At 18, Ms Kim immigrated for the first time to Los Angeles when her mother got a job in the fashion industry. Adjusting to American life was not the only culture shock that awaited Ms Kim as she soon discovered a large Korean community in the city. "All of a sudden I was more Korean than Argentinian," she said, explaining that the move became an unexpected opportunity for her family to reconnect with their roots. The exposure to such a wide spectrum of cultural experiences ignited an interest in indigenous cultures for Ms Kim as she went on to study social anthropology. "I was hungry for belonging, I wanted to learn what makes indigenous cultures unique instead of mainstream." Her work led her to travel and explore cultures including a trip to Ecuador where she worked as an archaeologist and also happened to meet her future husband, who had grown up in New Zealand. The couple eventually made the decision to move first to Wellington and then to Wānaka when Ms Kim's partner got a job a few years ago. Not long after moving to town Ms Kim began to connect with the Latino community that grows more vibrant every day. She felt thrilled to once again reconnect with a special and fundamental part of her upbringing. As a child of immigration and multi-culturalism, Ms Kim felt her background could at times act as a social superpower. "I'm very adaptable and flexible," she said. "I can also move in different cultural spaces because I have access to languages." However, this strength did not come without the cost of having to summarise her multi-layered identity into a single label. "Sometimes I have to constantly justify my identity. It just gets tiring ... people want to put you in boxes." Although she had navigated this experience her entire life, as a mother to daughters who would also grow up being from a diverse background, she felt compelled to ensure their world views were as broad as possible. This led to the creation of the Spanish playgroup in the Upper Clutha. "I want my kids to be exposed to all the cultures I grew up with ... The idea is everything is immersive and everything is in Spanish." The group has already met twice with around 15 families joining in to do activities such as baking, sport and dancing while incorporating Spanish words and phrases into the fun. Ms Kim has already seen a growing support for the parent-led group as more families share the same desire to pass down their culture to their children in an interactive and social way.

Californian city shaken
The Hotel Californian, Santa Barbara, with its entire side wall missing following an earthquake. — Otago Witness, 1.9.1925 COPIES OF PICTURE AVAILABLE FROM ODT FRONT OFFICE, LOWER STUART ST, OR A message from Los Angeles states that 65 persons are known to have been killed in the South Californian earthquake, which had its centre at Santa Barbara. ODT boss's recollection It is believed that several hundreds were injured. Some of the finest buildings in Santa Barbara were demolished, and the railway lines were disrupted. Communications were cut off and fire broke out. A dam burst, causing torrents of water to flood the city. The inhabitants are panic-stricken. Aeroplanes from San Francisco and elsewhere, and Red Cross trains, are rushing to the relief of the city. State Street, the main thoroughfare, is described as a ghastly avenue of ruin. Portions of its most stately buildings have tumbled down. The quakes continued throughout the day. The terror-stricken inhabitants, who numbered 30,000, are living on lawns. The damage is estimated at 10,000,000 dollars. During his tour abroad early last year Sir George Fenwick paid a visit to the town of Santa Barbara and, in recording his impressions, he said: "Santa Barbara is a most attractive town with a population of about 30,000. It is growing rapidly, and property within the last few years has increased enormously in value. The secretary of the Rotary Club was most kind and attentive to us during our stay, and showed us some of the beauty spots in the course of an interesting motor drive. During this trip we visited a celebrated mission which dates back to the old Spanish days. It was founded in 1786 by Father Junipero Serra, president of the Franciscan Friars, who came to Mexico with the Spanish-Mexican expedition in 1769. Two centuries before then the records of the early voyages of Cabrillo (1542) speak of the kindness and hospitality of the Santa Barbara Indians. The place was described by Father Serra as a delightful paradise." Balancing risk and rescue Interviewed by a Daily Times reporter yesterday, Superintendent Napier stated that the calling of a fire-brigadesman was essentially one in which all hands had necessarily to risk their lives for the succour of those in danger. A fire-brigadesman, be he officer or newly-joined recruit, cannot be protected by "rules of the road" or idealism. The essential part of the work of a fire service was to reach the point of call with the minimum of delay. Any trained fire brigade officer studied the lives and safety of his men, and it was strongly to be deplored that any person should make the work of the brigades more difficult than it had of recent years been rendered, by the great influx of motor traffic. The whole service deplored the accidents which must, of necessity, occur with the speeding-up of road transit but the risk was all in the day's work, and was part of the service of an up-to-date brigade. So far as Dunedin was concerned, the by-law was most emphatic in that all traffic, on the signal of the siren, notifying that a fire engine was in transit, was to pull up as near the sidewalk as was possible, and all tram cars had to come to a standstill. The Dunedin fire service would greatly welcome a better observance of the by-law governing its freedom of the roads when in actual service. Superintendent Napier added that it was understood that, under the Motor Act, the "Siren" signal is to be reserved for the use of fire engines whilst actually responding to a call. — ODT, 1.7.1925 (Compiled by Peter Dowden)

Sensational Spanish Pianist Warms Up Winter With Fiery NZSO Debut
AI-generated content may be incorrect.'> Acclaimed Spanish pianist Javier Perianes makes his New Zealand Symphony Orchestra debut in Wellington and Christchurch in July. Joining him will be the Aotearoa New Zealand debut of exciting young Finnish conductor Emilia Hoving. in Wellington (17 July) and Christchurch (19 July) promises a thrilling evening of musical storytelling. Celebrated for his ability to make the piano 'sing and glitter with alert, polished brilliance' (Sydney Morning Herald), Perianes takes the stage for two dazzling works: Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G, a lively fusion of jazz-infused rhythms and echoes of the composer's Spanish Basque heritage, and Manuel de Falla's Nights in the Gardens of Spain, a dramatic and seductive portrait of Andalusian Spain. 'Music isn't a profession, it's a way of understanding life,' Perianes has said. 'You're not a musician from 8am to 3pm and then close up shop. As a great master used to say: 'Music attacks you at any time.' It's a passion that you carry inside, and you can't disconnect.' When Hoving – winner of the Finnish Critics' Prize for Best Newcomer in the Arts (2021) – performed in Australia, Limelight Magazine hailed the evening as 'a scintillating performance, memorable for its passion and drama… authoritative conducting, which drew out all the character and charm of each work and encouraged the best performances from the players.' With a conducting style praised as both precise and powerful, Hoving leads the NZSO through an exhilarating programme. From 1950s Christchurch with Kiwi composer John Ritchies' Papanui Road, where the bustling energy of this busy thoroughfare and the clanging of tram bells come vividly to life; to the fiery magic of Igor Stravinsky's Firebird, a masterpiece that shimmers with the legend of the glowing bird of Russian myth, this is an evening that's not to be missed. Stravinsky himself famously conducted the NZSO performing Firebird in Wellington in 1961.
