Read down a bit further on the Recipes thread and you will see Spiral Vegetable Slicer. I am enjoying his programme too.

I was meaning the man making the low fat food, not the little whiz bang machine :-)

I was disappointed. I expected fish and chips. But he made some fish meals, and some vege dishes, none of which, really, except perhaps the crumbed fish, could be called fish and chips. Sure we can do roast root veges, we can bake kumara, we can do various pieces of fish steamed with herbs and veges but it's NOT fish and chips.
How about just what I do? Crumb fish, minimally, fry in a wee bit of oil, bake the chips. Still fish and chips.
i was a little disappointed in the programme, hadnt seen the first week.
I thought one of the mums saying the kids kept coming back for more money to get more was a bit telling of the portion sizes served? lol.As lythande said, it possible would have been more of a challenge to see him present a healthy version ofgood old 'fush and chups'.

In the first programme he did a selection of "healthy" pies. They all looked rather nice but I thought that in order to keep the fat to a minimum he did make the pies smaller. Like you, I thought that they may have made a nice first course but one on its own was really insufficient for lunch. And they were pricey - $5 each.

Agree with commernts about his food. But he's such a pleasant chap. A breath of fresh air on the food front on tv.

I finally watched his second show last night and I have to say I was rather impressed with his attempts at producing interesting and "healthy" fast food. The potato curly whirlies were inspired and totally original. However, the cost was, once again, a bit prohibitive for the serving sizes.
I hated the lady and her kid who screwed their faces up at the pea sauce. What is wrong with people that a simple and tasty vegetable gets the thumbs down?

510 - yes I've eaten there often in the past and we had my mother's 80th birthday upstairs in their private room. Not eaten there much recently as it's very difficult to low carb your way through his menu - lots of grains & legumes used. His food is good - don't get me started on his tortured orange truffle!

Dazz, Moltens sounded a good place for your mum's 80th birthday.I have a sister who will be 90 later this year.Most of her childrenlive overseas, so some of the arranging will be done by me, does it have a lift to the upstairs room?Parking is a bit of an issue around there at times.

Ah, that's the problem. I don't think there's a lift and it is upstairs. Another option might be Bowmans which has 2 separate private dining rooms. It's on the corner of Mt Eden and Kingsview Roads. We've had x2 21st birthday dinners there.
