Mediterranean Lunch

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

For the Mediterranean Menu, the Advanced students must design and cost out a menu to a budget which includes a fish dish (the need to fillet the fish) freshly made pasta (ribbon or ravioli) and a tempting dessert. The students are able to invite a guest to join them for this gastronomic luncheon which they prepare during the morning.

Here are some of the dishes prepared by our students.
•Entreé - Pan seared gurnard, barley salad with olives, capers and salsa verda
•Entreé - Chicken and mushroom ravioli with vin blanc sauce
•Main - Braised beef cheek pappardelle, asparagus and grilled parmesan
•Main - Pan seared fish with pinenut crumb, pea puree, grilled heirloom tomatoes, parmigiano polenta and basil olive oil
•Dessert - Sfouf (Lebanese turmeric cake) made with semolina, turmeric and almonds and walnuts
•Dessert - Baklava served with rose petals and chocolate shards and Chantilly cream

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
