The world can be neatly divided into two opposing camps – those who absolutely love sushi, and those who hate it with a passion. For those that don’t like sushi – for those who’ve never known the glorious heat wave that accompanies a mouthful of moist rice, silky salmon and furious wasabi – why don’t you check out some of our other posts, because this Delivery Hero blog post is about to turn into sushi central:)

There are several types of sushi, ranging from Maki sushi (the ‘traditional’ sushi roll), Nigiri sushi (fish on top of a chunk of rice), Uramaki (‘inside out’ sushi with the rice on the outside of the nori), and the Westernized ‘California Roll’ (which doesn’t actually use raw fish). Today we’re going to focus on how to make Maki sushi, so let’s round up the ingredients that we need and get to work… (more…)

By now you’ve probably heard-of or seen The Avengers movie, Disney’s (via Marvel) newest multi-plex juggernaut based on a team of the world’s greatest superheroes defending the earth from an otherworldy evil. The film has thrilled audiences with a mix of action, pop-culture references and off-beat humour – none moreso than the ‘hidden’ post-credits scene that see The Avengers munching on Shawarma after defeating hoardes of crazed intergalactic demons – as you do!

That gave the team at Delivery Hero a thought – what would other superheroes eat to replenish after dispatching an arch-villain? Read on to find out…

Spiderman    Let’s see. He’s a teenager, he rushes around corners all day and he wears a red & blue outfit. If I didn’t know any better I would guess that Peter Parker was born to be a pizza-delivery guy. After webslinging the bad-guys out of the picture I can just see Spider-Man chilling out with a few slices of Super Supreme Pizza and a side of Garlic Bread.

Wolverine    Apart from the fact that he always has cutlery on-hand, Wolverine is a hard-living, heavy eating kind of guy. He works hard, he plays hard and he definitely needs to fill up on steak when he’s done doing what he does best. Make it a Sirloin Steak with a side of Creamy Mash and Peppercorn Sauce.

Wonder-Woman    This one is a no-brainer. An Amazonian princess with a magical whip [Ed: pun removed], Wonder Woman lives healthy and eats healthy. I’m thinking plenty of greens and some protein – which leads me to believe that Wonder Woman is absolutely a Chicken Caesar Salad fan.

Superman    I have a feeling that with all that Kryptonite stuff threatening to destroy his superhuman strength, Superman doesn’t really want anything green on his plate. He also has a stomach of steel, so we’re going to go with the hottest of the hot here – a fiery Beef Vindaloo Curry should hit the spot.

Batman   Dark. Brooding. Mysterious. This guys needs to lighten up – and maybe that’s why I get the feeling that he indulges the lighter side of his persona with a plate of Sushi. You simply can’t feel bad about having a handful of psychotic super-villains trying to destroy your home-town when you have things named Agedashi and Katsu dancing around on your plate can you?

Catwoman   I’m initially inclined to say mouse here, but I actually think that Catwoman is more of a ‘curl up on the couch with a bowl of Laksa‘ kind of girl. Sure she’s sexy and dangerous, but when she’s finished toying with Batman my guess is that all she wants to do is take off all that leather, put her feet up, turn on the tv and watch reruns of CSI:New York. Am I right?

If you spent the whole day fighting crime and protecting the citizens of Earth, what would you order to re-energize?

Sake, a delicious Japanese rice wine, has been around for an extremely long time, most likely originating in Japan during the Nara period of 710-794. In Australia, this traditional drink has long been a popular beverage of choice in Japanese restaurants. However, drinking sake at home and even making one’s own sake have been steadily rising in popularity as people search for a more personalised sake drinking experience.

The concept of how to drink sake has been perfected for literally thousands of years and is steeped in tradition. Here is a guide to some of the best tips for how to drink sake that we’ve found. (more…)
