Christmas, it may only be one day, but we sure make a meal out of it, especially Christmas dinner. But while you may have sorted the Christmas ham and pudding - what do you put on the table when you've got vegan and gluten free guests? Reporter Krystal Gibbens spoke to cookbook author and 2021 winner of the Great Kiwi Bake Off, Alby Hailes.
2021 Great Kiwi Bake Off winner Alby Hailes joins Susie Ferguson to celebrate the release of his debut cookbook 'Good Vibes'. It's a book that connects food with how we feel. And it's the result of a journey that started in a Dunedin scarfie kitchen writing about cheap cooking, to dealing with the challenges of working as a doctor in mental health, of course to his Bake Off win.
On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Madeline Sami. Madeleine is one of New Zealand's funniest, and most prolific, comedic talents. She's an actor, musician, comedian, writer and director, who you might have seen as the star of Box-office success the Breaker-Upperers, or her new show Deadloch, or as the host of the Great Kiwi Bake Off, or Shortland Street, or Super City or Sione's Wedding....she's done a lot – her IMDB page is ridiculous.. In this episode we talk about her weirdest jobs, best accents, relationship with Lucy Lawless, Onehunga up-bringing and the loss of her father, Taika Waititi and the highs and lows of fame, Super City, Tom Sainsbury and so much more. Madeline is one of the most entertaining – and coolest - guests we've had. Funny, thoughtful and a wicked storyteller this was one of our favs – and we can't wait for you to hear it. Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.

It's "Chocolate Week" on The Great Kiwi Bake Off, even though it felt like cake week 2.0! The Bakers have already started their post show influencer work with one of the Crumbs succumbing to the croc trend.

Perfectly measured shortbread slabs, hand-painted biscuit eggs, bizarrely complicated Italian biscuits...Biscuit Week on The Great Kiwi Bake Off really had it all. Courtnay, Hamish and Tom get together to talk feeling bitter about seemingly easy challenges (again) and answer the age-old question...does size matter?
