Cooking up a storm

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

Six of our NZQA Diploma Cookery students signed up for the New Zealand Hospitality Championships – previously known as the Culinary Fare run by the New Zealand Chefs Association at the recent Hospitality Hui held on on September 19, 2022.

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.

These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.

As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Dental Magic

CMDental Ltd

Once upon a time on Lincoln Road Henderson
Dentist: “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. This will be quick and painless.”

The dentist holds a toothbrush like a magic wand.

Dentist: “Abracadabra!”

The toothbrush sparkles and glows. Suddenly, the patient’s teeth start to shine brightly.

Patient: “Wow! That was amazing! My teeth have never looked this good!”

Well at CM Dental we rely on skill and technique more than magic but we get great results!
Schedule a scale and polish its only $200 for an inspection scale and polish real dentistry not a fairy story.
For that spcial felling. #CMDental #Dentist #DentistNearMe #DentistHenderson #DentistLincolnRoad #DentistWest Auckland

Narrator: “At CM Dental, we make teeth cleaning magical. Book your appointment today and experience the sparkle!”
