Like many fortysomethings, Sue Coyne was exhausted, juggling a punishing work schedule as a director at a market research agency with raising two young children. Looking back, she admits she thought she was “invincible”, and gave little thought to what the pace of her life might be doing to her health.

Sarah Tuck: “I made two different flavours of panna cotta and one jelly, which I layered in 120ml-capacity hard plastic whisky ball ice moulds – I used Tovolo, which I got online. It’s important to leave each layer to set in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably two, before adding another. These panna cottas are made to be sturdier than the traditional recipe – if you’re serving in a glass, or turning out from a ramekin, reduce the gelatine to five sheets. In hot weather, or for long-lasting baubles, increase to seven sheets. Each recipe makes 540ml. The loops were pulled off Christmas decorations and poked into the panna cotta."

OPINION: Females are communication queens. We like to talk, arguably too much at times. The silver lining to all this chattering is that whenever we’re overwhelmed by the emotional whirlwind of life, chances are, we’re going to tell someone about it. Sadly the majority of our males don’t share this eagerness to open up and will admit they would rather overcome personal issues by themselves.

Charcuterie came about as a means of preservation, but the art itself has been preserved for its flavour. The reason we love this kind of meat is because of the fermentation that happens as the meat steeps in its environment. The final product unleashes meaty, umami flavours upon the palate and has us going back for more.
When envisaging the artist who puts such delights together, one couldn’t be blamed for picturing a thick-wristed butcher – Bill, perhaps, or is it Roger? Not the maker of these meaty treats – they come from the more delicate hands of Hannah Miller. “I’m not trying to be as good as the men,” Hannah says. “I’m trying to be myself.”
Originally from Portland, Oregon, Hannah has been making her bresaola (cured beef), capicola (also called coppa, made from pork neck), and pancetta (cured pork belly) out of the kitchen of Apero in central Auckland for just a few months. Going by the name A Lady Butcher, she has already attracted the attention of some top chefs, and her products are on the menu at Apero now.
