Mediterranean Lunch by our Cookery students
This week our Advanced cookery students designed a three-course menu that includes a fish dish, involving the filleting of a fish, freshly made pasta - ribbon or ravioli, plus dessert - all with a Mediterranean theme.
This is one of our most popular projects as the students must design a three-course menu, cost it in a spreadsheet to meet a specific budget, create a menu card and timeplan to help them execute the tasks. They must serve the menu to a guest who arrives at 12.30. Everything is done on the day. The students also get to sit with their guest to savour and enjoy their creations.
Along with our cookery students, the Food & Beverage, Level 4 students showcased excellent wine and food service to the guests.
Some of the dishes prepared were -
- Pan seared fish with salsa and mesclun salad
- Fettuccine Al Burro with handmade pasta
- Semolina cake soaked in orange blossom syrup, rosewater sorbet, pistachio crumb & candied orange peel
Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Breaking the secret code ...🤨
Today I’m breaking the secret code of all responsible car, truck and motorbike drivers.
We have kept this secret to ourselves for so many years, all the while assuming (incorrectly) that others may have guessed it along the way.
Well they haven’t, so now I am being forced to break the code of silence.
Here we go … to all of those red light runners, the green (GO) light does come back, it really does.
All you have to do is wait a little bit and … ta dah!!! There it is.
That pretty green light that you all seem to think is not coming back magically reappears after a short period of time.
Please try this and you to will become our newest member into the secret club of safe and responsible drivers.
For the newest members of our responsible and safe drivers club, welcome.
However, to become fully fledged LIFE TIME members, you must also understand that the two sticks behind your steering wheel are the window wipers to be used on rainy days and also to clean your windscreen on days where there is glare from the sun and the ‘hidden’ INDICATOR.
Please learn which one is the indicator and use it for every corner you turn into and for every single merge into traffic – both left and right sides.
Once you have done that, you will automatically become a lifetime member of our very exclusive club.
But please remember, you have to be a consistent responsible driver to stay as a lifetime member of the responsible and safe drivers.
