Local Lens

Eddy, Eddy by Canterbury local Kate De Goldi centres around the protagonist Eddy Smallbone’s complicated internal strife in a post-quake Christchurch. This energising read flows exceptionally well, with wellplaced humour, and is written in such a way you feel a friend is telling you a story. A great read to start off the year.

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

Did the New Year include a resolution to cook more of your own food? Well, Cook Me by Sam Parish is the best place to start. It is filled with refreshingly easy recipes from proteins to baked goods; you’ll be sorted. My personal favourite is a section called ‘Dough it’, full of tasty, sweet treats.

Country Hits

Sturgill Simpson is a country artist worth discovering. You might be familiar with one of his most famous hits, Sam, an ode to a hard-working farm dog which became a hit Tiktok sound. His latest single featuring Angel Olsen, Big Time, is a country ballad honouring the genre’s past with a modern feel. Add this to your playlist for 2023.

Jet Set

Gaining the sought-after rating of 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?, new to Netflix, follows the journey of John Leonard taking on PepsiCo over an ad campaign suggesting contestants could come away with a Harrier jet. It’s a fascinating watch and an eye into David vs Goliath court cases, and it leaves you wondering if anyone won at the end of the day.
