Restaurant review: retro perfection at Henry Pollen's
A little over a century ago Dr Henry Pollen set up as a general practitioner in what is still the cutest French Second Empire-style building in Wellington. Much later, its curvy Mansard roof, turret, frills and flounces proved eerily appropriate to the House of Ladies, yet since then they’ve more worthily enhanced two Gallic restaurants รข€“ Bouquet Garni and The General Practitioner.

Antidepressants don't work and mental health system is failing, experts say
Antidepressants don’t work and doctors should help their patients carefully come off psychiatric drugs, an international expert says.
Peter Gotzsche, a co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration รข€“ the world’s foremost body in assessing medical evidence รข€“ says there is little to no evidence psychiatric drugs including ADHD medication, anti-depressants and anti-psychotic drugs work, but lots of evidence they increase harm, including risk of dying. Some studies have shown antidepressants could heighten the risk of suicide.
Gotzsche made the comments Monday at the Mental Health in Crisis conference in Christchurch.

How to smash those other pub quiz teams
You are not going to win the national pub quiz championships with a team of mates, says Mike Nahu.
He should know. He’s captain and organiser of the reigning champion team, and over the past five years his teams have come first twice and second twice.
Nahu says that top of the sport, if it can be called that, is getting the right mix of team members who can cover a spread of likely categories such as history, science, sport, entertainment, geography and so on.
Thousands of Kiwis turn up at hundreds of pubs every week to do battle over who can remember trivia best.

Dr Tom: Make looking after the planet part of your wellbeing program

Recipes: Sam Mannering's stuffed salmon and potato salad
I’m thinking lazy Sunday long lunch with this one. Seriously bucolic. Remarkably simple too. There are a number of ways to approach what is really a very easy recipe. Either keep the salmon whole and fill the cavity with the stuffing mixture, which in preparation terms is a little easier; or to do it as I suggest below, which means you don’t have to worry about bones. Get the fishmonger to fillet and bone the fish for you รข€“ it will make things infinitely easier รข€“ or just buy two single fillets of salmon: they’re often available whole. Make sure you use good bread รข€“ sourdough for the slight tang will combat the richness of the salmon in this case.

Thank you for choosing me, cancer, you made me so much better
OPINION: If I told you getting cancer was like winning the lottery, would you believe me?
Being diagnosed with cancer has to be one of the most unfortunate misadventures a person can experience. Having the “c" word come into your life is like receiving your cause of death signed and sealed; your expiry date immediately brought forward.
Imagine, in addition, being diagnosed before the age of 25. Instantly, cancer isn’t just this horrible disease that impacts the middle-aged and old, or is caused by poor life choices and dirty habits.

Time for coffee shops to show tea drinkers some respect - reviewer
New Zealand once led the world in tea drunk per person, so it seems strange tea needs defending in public.
But as tea lover Adelia Hallett puts it, “it’s time to strike back at the coffee culture”.
She’s created a review blog Tea on the Road which rates cafes and tearooms on the cup of tea they serve up. She gives 10 points each for the tea, the cup and the setting.
It’s her way to thank those who get it right and shove the rest in the right direction.

Dr Tom: Manage your thoughts, expectations and emotions when you travel
Life is a treasure hunt. I am currently in Tierra del Fuego - the 29th largest island in the world, it’s name in Spanish means Land of Fire - and I’m waiting to join a ship to the Antarctic. This Argentinian archipelago is located at the tip of South America and it's my second visit here. Today, I am facing up to the fact that I didn’t nail my travel plans to the level of detail required for a smooth sailing.

Avoid illness by following the three C’s
It’s happened to the best of us. What we thought was a delicious meal, turns into 24 hours of misery confined to a space never more than a few metres from the nearest toilet. Every year around 200,000 kiwis get food poisoning, with campylobacter being the most common cause. And while it’s easy to blame food poisoning on a dodgy takeaway, about half of all cases occur in the home.

Recipe: Jordan Rondel's chocolate, plum and macadamia cake
My boyfriend’s parents have an incredibly plentiful heirloom plum tree in their Auckland garden, which I always raid at this time of year. They are beautifully tart, red fleshed plums which pair perfectly with dark chocolate and rich macadamias in this simple but impressive cake.

Recipe: Sam Mannering's barbecued pork chops with peaches
Whoever was it that said the apple is king? Why is something the apple of your eye? Not that I have anything against apples รข€“ indeed, I love the things รข€“ but if I had to truly set one fruit apart from the rest, it would be the peach. Glorious things, peaches. Seductive almost. Pity “the peach of your eye” doesn’t quite trip off the tongue as mellifluously.
